We found a similar view at the McCord Museum "American Falls from Goat Island, Niagara, ON, about 1870 - VIEW-932" but could not locate this view no. 931. The photo of "Horse-Shoe Falls From Canadian Side Niagara" dates about 1870, according to the McCord catalogue, and "923 - Horse-Shoe Falls From Goat Island Niag." being just three views later, would date about the same.
