Taughannock Falls!, No. 1 from the series "Cayuga Lake Scenery"

Photography and Media

1860/99

G. F. Gates
American, active 1860s–1890s

Text printed on reverse of stereocard:

This Grand Scenery and delightful Resort is healthfully located, being eleven hundred and seventy-five feet above tide water, and in close proximity to the beautiful Cayuga, where four steamers daily make a landing, giving a choice of rail or steamer from any direction. Rev. Dr. Cheever pronounces the view of the Gorge and Falls the grandest and most picturesque in the world out of Switzerland; reminding the traveler much of the pass above Chiavenna in the Italian Alps.
