Title: Table Rock, Niagara, circa 1850
Artist: Hippolyte Victor Valentin Sebron
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Dimensions: 102 cm (height), 158 cm (width)
Gift of Dr. Sigmund Samuel
Niagara Falls was Canada’s greatest tourist attraction in the
19th century and remains one of the natural wonders of the
world. It elicited responses both literary and pictorial from
visitors who felt compelled to articulate their experience.
What is clear from Sebron’s painting is that, in the 19th
century, the Falls functioned as a great “leveler”. Regardless
of cultural or economic background, one could get near to
the Falls and be overwhelmed by nature.
