# U.S.A. poster 57, Niagara Falls (Danish, Copenhagen)

A Danish-language photo poster headed 'U.S.A.' showing Niagara Falls with a crowd of visitors at a railed viewpoint. The caption gives the falls' width and height and places them on the U.S.-Canada border near Buffalo, New York. The tell is glittering-generalities: a scenic landmark stands for the country, with no claim beyond description.
