Niagara Rainbows 1910

"Niagara Rainbows" is a 1910 etching by American artist Joseph Pennell. The artwork captures the grandeur of Niagara Falls, with the powerful water cascading down the steep cliff, viewed from a vantage point above. The sky is filled with swirling clouds, creating an ethereal and dramatic setting. Pennell's use of lines and shading creates a sense of movement and energy, highlighting the raw power of nature.
