This is a vintage lithograph depicting a spectacular meteor shower over Niagara Falls. The sky is a deep, dark blue, filled with countless streaks of light representing meteors. These meteors vary in color, with many appearing as bright yellow and orange, creating a dramatic and fiery display. Scattered throughout the sky are also small white stars. Below the celestial spectacle, Niagara Falls is depicted with a powerful cascade of water. The falls are wide and voluminous, with the water appearing as blurred white streaks due to the motion. A few small figures of people are visible along the edge of the falls, seemingly observing the meteor shower. The foreground features rocky terrain and a few silhouetted trees, adding depth to the scene. The overall composition is dramatic and awe-inspiring, capturing the beauty and power of both the natural phenomenon and the landscape. The image is labeled with German text at the bottom, indicating the event occurred in North America on the night of November 12-13, 1833.
