Niagara Falls was a frequently filmed subject. In May, it had been one of the first places to be visited by the Edison Manufacturing Company's new mobile camera but the films were not entirely satisfactory. With more experience and better technology, an Edison crew returned to film the falls in early December.

Interesting, grainy and very short, but an incredible look at the American Falls and their majestic power.
