Portfolio of Pictures by A. Horsley Hinton is a 1904 photographic by Alfred Horsley Hinton, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a black-and-white photo of a waterfall tumbling over a rocky cliff. The mist from the fall blurs the background, making the trees and sky look soft and far away. In the foreground, a few sheep graze on a grassy ledge near the edge. The artist signed it "Alfred Horsley Hinton" in the corner, and the word "Niagara" is written below the image. This suggests the waterfall is meant to look like Niagara Falls, even if it’s not real. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of Hinton’s work.
A mounted brown-toned photograph depicts a large waterfall in a natural setting.

Alfred Horsley Hinton carried a wooden camera like a second body—he lugged it up British hills, through misty valleys and mill towns, always hunting the perfect soft light over water.
