George Barker began his photographic career under the employment of Platt D. Babbitt in 1862, and by the end of the decade he operated successful studios in Niagara Falls and London. Celebrated for his large-format photographs, he used glass plate negatives and produced many famous views of Niagara Falls that were, and remain, treasured souvenir items. This image shows the controversial attraction Terrapin Tower, constructed in 1833 by brothers Peter and Augustus Porter. Ultimately, the brothers destroyed their tower with dynamite in 1873.

This work was printed circa 1870.

Please note: this work is unframed.
