Photography and Media

1860/99

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

Text printed on reverse of stereocard:

There is not to be found in this country, perhaps in the world, a more strikingly wonderful and beautiful freak of Nature than the Watkins Glen. Differing essentially in all its characteristics from any other remarkable locality of Natural interest, it has as distinct an individuality as the Falls of Niagara or the Mammoth Cave.
