Geographie und Reisen – Großformatiges, zeichnerisch gelungenes Panorama der wohl berühmtesten Wasserfälle der Welt, wohl vor Ort von einer Position gezeichnet, die auf dem Blatt als "Grand Bank" angegeben wird. Die unsignierte, aber genau bezeichnete Darstellung links mit den Wasserfällen, dahinter und mittig mit einem spärlich bewaldeten Plateau und rechts mit einer bewaldeten Hügellandschaft mit verstreuten Häusern. - Das verwendete Büttenpapier aus der Papiermühle Joseph Ruse und Richard Turner, Upper Tovil Mill, Maidstone, Kent, England. - Mehrere Einrisse, wovon zwei mit kleinen Fehlstellen im oberen Rand, die Verbindungstellen zwischen den Blättern mit leichter Bräunung, ein zusätzlicher Mittelfalz verso hinterlegt und recto etwas stärker gebräunt, mitunter minimal finger- und stockfleckig. Insgesamt gut erhaltene, repräsentative Arbeit.

Geography and Travel – Black ink, pencil and wash in grey on laid paper in four joined parts (watermark "Ruse & Turner, 1812"). Labeled lower left. 24.7 x 137.1 cm. - A large-format, skillfully drawn panorama of what are arguably the world's most famous waterfalls, likely drawn on location from a position labeled "Grand Bank" within the inscription. The unsigned but precisely labeled depiction shows the waterfalls on the left, a sparsely wooded plateau behind as well as in the center, and a wooded hilly landscape with scattered houses on the right. - The laid paper used comes from the Joseph Ruse and Richard Turner paper mill, Upper Tovil Mill, Maidstone, Kent, England. - Several small tears, two of which have minimal losses in the top margin, the creases between the sheets are slightly browned recto, an additional center fold has been reinforced on the verso and is somewhat more heavily browned on the recto, occasionally very little foxing and finger-stains. Overall, a well-preserved, representative drawing.
