Babbitt, Platt D.,
-1879,
photographer.
[Joseph Avery stranded on rocks in the Niagara River]
[graphic].
[1853 July]
1 photograph :
quarter plate daguerreotype.
Three men boating in the Niagara River were overwhelmed by the river's strong current, lost control of their boat, and crashed into a rock. The current carried two men immediately over the Falls to their deaths. The daguerreotype shows the third man, stranded on a log which had jammed between two rocks. He weathered the current for eighteen hours before succumbing to the river. The image is an early example of a news photograph.
Case: central floral motif surrounded by scrolls.
Original served by appointment only.
