Lot Essay

A pupil of Louis Daguerre, the diorama, architecture and view painter Hippolyte Sebron was in America between 1849 and 1855, visiting New York and Louisiana. Another winter view of Niagara by Sebron, with Native Americans hunting ('Chutes du Niagara en hiver', 1857) is in the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Rouen (880.2.2), and his 'Table Rock, Niagara' is in the Sigmund Samuel Gallery of Canada in the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto. Two fine views of Niagara Falls were published as a pair of large lithographs by Goupil, Paris in 1852.
