BLOUET, Guillaume-Abel (1795-1853). Chutes du Niagara. Niagara Falls. Sketched from Nature in March, 1837. Paris: Delpech, 1838.
"This queen of cataracts..." Remarkable views of Niagara Falls from drawings made in March, 1837. First edition. Blouet was a French architect who specialized in prison design. He was on a tour of North American prisons when he, like so many before and after him, made a detour to Niagara Falls. From his preface, "Great part of the snow which covered the earth, had been melted by the sun that shone for us but few moments. The mountains, as high as to obscure half of the falls, still grew up, notwithstanding its rays which became warmer and warmer. The East wind blew an everlasting cloud, and Canada seemed a new found country..." Bobins 38; Dow II, pp.891-892.
Folio (520 x 354mm). Half title, title-page with map inset, two text leaves and six hand-colored plates, lithographed by Jean-Charles-Joseph Redmond after the drawings of Blouet. Text, including captions, in French and English. Contemporary half calf (rebacked).Blouet, Abel-Guillaume
