- Falls View Suspension Bridge over the Niagara RiverBy Joachim Ferdinand RichardtLocated in New York, NYBorn 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 view is taken from the American side, looking toward the Canadian side. Construction on the bridge began in the winter of 1867 when a rope was carried across the Niagara River over an ice bridge, thus establishing a physical link between the two shorelines.

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...Category
