Born in Brede, Denmark, Ferdinand Richardt studied at the Copenhagen Academy where he learned landscape painting under the German artist Gustav Hetsch. In 1855 Richardt came to America to visit Niagara Falls, and, according to the Catalogue of the Niagara Gallery (op. cit.), “to study the sublimity and grandeur of that wonderful work of Nature. . . .” While there he executed at least thirty-two paintings of various scenes in the area, which were exhibited and offered for sale at Henry Leeds & Co., New York, in 1857 (op. cit.).

The first Falls View Bridge opened on January 2, 1869. TThe twin 100 ft. tall towers were constructed of timber and supported the main suspension cables, from which a timber truss deck was hung. The bridge served pedestrian, horse, and carriage traffic. Since its deck measured only 10 ft. wide, carriage traffic alternated directions. In 1872, the open timber towers were clad with wood and corrugated metal siding, which afforded the entire structure a more permanent look, and a steam-powered Otis elevator...
