N.B. David Johnson made Trenton Falls the subject of his painting during much of his career. The Falls, northeast of Utica, New York, on the West Canada Creek, was a popular mid-19th century tourist attraction. In the example presented here, the artist displayed his detailed and controlled brush stroke, coupled with the inclusion of figures, both hallmarks of his 1870s style.

Inscribed with the accession number 1991.1.55 on the frame backing and with a handwritten hanging tag from the Onondaga Historical Association, Syracuse, New York.
A stamp on the backing board notes that the painting was treated by Gustave D. Kliman in 1997, using the thermo-pneumatic lining process.
Framed dimensions 22 5/8 x 34 inches.
