==Fine art== Niagara Falls was such an attraction to landscape artists that, writes John Howat, they were "the most popular, the most often treated, and the tritest single item of subject matter to appear in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century European and American [[landscape painting]]".<ref>{{Cite book |title=Frederic Church |last1=Howat |first1=John K. |last2=Church |first2=Frederic Edwin |date=2005 |publisher=Yale University Press |isbn=0-300-10988-1 |page=69}}</ref> Author Ginger Strand states that "Every time there was an advance in picture-making, folks raced to the Falls to try it out." She cites engravings, chromolithographs, photographs, panoramas, camera obscuras, early movies, Cinerama, and IMAX technologies as examples.<ref>Strand, p. 296</ref> <gallery> A General View of the Falls of Niagara, 1820, by Alvan Fisher - SAAM - DSC00862.JPG|''A General View of the Falls of Niagara'' by [[Alvan Fisher]], 1820 Distant View of Niagara Falls 1830 Thomas Cole.jpg|''Distant View of Niagara Falls'' by [[Thomas Cole]], 1830 Karl Bodmer Travels in America (72c).jpg|''Niagara Fälle.
