This image is an illustration of the Horseshoe Falls section of Niagara Falls, which is predominantly in Canada in this illustration. The extreme left side of the falls is in the United States.
The description states:
NIAGARA FALLS BY ILLUMINATION
This new enhancement of America’s beauty resources is nothing more than the Falls, under flood lighting for four hours each night. Their own power has been taken from them, brought under the control of man, and then turned back upon the power creator itself, and we get a new beauty, ten-fold greater than any beauty known at the Falls before man took hold to conquer them for service.
–Between 1955 and the mid-1980s, the extreme left side of Horseshoe Falls, which flowed around Terrapin Rocks, was blocked by an extension of land from Goat Island, creating Terrapin Point, Further reinforcement of the point and diversions blocked all of the Horseshoe Falls section in the United States, and about 100 meters of falls in Canada. Thus, the section that is colored orange at the left is no longer active.
This image likely dates from the 1930s.

This is the second of two very similar images, both featuring illuminated views of the so-called “Rock of Ages” in the left foreground, and the Cave of the Winds, behind the falls in the background.

–This image has more attention paid to the items in the foreground, showing more detail of the Rock of Ages while nearly omitting the wooden walkway in the background. This image shows the nearly identical viewpoint without color or artistic impression.
This image likely dates from the 1930s.

This is the first of two very similar but distinct images of the Rock of Ages and Cave of the Winds complex of Niagara Falls as they appear when illuminated with colored lights.

–This version of the image appears to be the older of the two, primarily based on the quality of the production. It also focuses more on the background detail, highlighting the walkway that existed near the base of the falls.
This image likely dates from the 1930s.
