    article on the process of photochrom: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photochrom "A litho stone is coated with a thin layer of purified bitumen dissolved in benzene. A reversed half-tone negative is then pressed against this light-sensitive coating and an exposure in daylight made (taking from 10–30 minutes in summer, to several hours in winter). The bitumen hardens and becomes resistant to normal solvents in proportion to the light. The coating is then washed in turpentine solutions, removing the unhardened bitumen. It is then retouched in the tonal scale of the chosen color to strengthen or soften the tones as required. Each tint needs a separate stone bearing the appropriate retouched image, and prints are usually produced by at least six, and more commonly from 10 to 15 tint stones.[4]"

    In 1961 the Robert Mosses power project opened and....."Put very simply, we divert water from the Niagara River—up to 375,000 gallons a second" During summer months this translates to about half of the original flow of water being diverted before it even reaches the falls, In winter months (off peak tourism) as little as one quarter of the original flow makes it's way over the falls. Generations have never seen the majestic falls at it's full splendor. Quote source - www.nypa.gov/facilities/niagara.htm
