Title; #1062 - Luna Island and Falls, Niagara Falls
Webster & Albee, Publishers, Rochester, N.Y.
Artistic American Scenery
Webster and Albee were active in Rochester, New York from the 1880s until the 1890s. They were a major publisher of pirated copies of views. Much activity in printing copy views was centered in Rochester - Union View Company, C.W. Woodward and Webster and Albee issued huge quantities. Confusion exists because Webster and Albee also issued views from original negatives, but often the quality was low.
This oversize view (4 1/8" wide instead of the usual 3 1/2") features Luna Island - a very small, uninhabited island which, together with Goat Island borders the Bridal Veil Falls. Luna Island was said to have derived it's name from the ability of an observer, when standing on the island during a full moon, to see "Lunar Rainbows" in the Niagara mist.
