Mathews' Second Principle Fall
rank Jay Haynes's stereograph of the fall, taken in 1880, strikingly confirms Lewis's first impression of this "pleasingly beautiful" object: "here the river pitches over a shelving rock, with an edge as regular and as streight as if formed by art...I now thought that if a skillful painter had been asked to make a beautifull cascade that he would most probably have pesented the precise immage of this one."
