Scene from the "Devil's Ring", at Drury-Lane Theatre, [London], 1850. Miss Nelson, as the enchanted Princess, in '...the scene of the re-capture of the Princess, and her descent over the Niagara Fall into the City of Fountains...The scenery is of the most ambitious order; presenting celebrated subjects painted on a magnificent scale, but not always with the sense of illusion. Particularly deficient in this attribute were the Falls of Niagara...' From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
