Description
The Rhine Falls (Rheinfall in German) is the largest plain waterfall in Europe.
The falls are located on the High Rhine between the municipalities of Neuhausen am Rheinfall and Laufen-Uhwiesen, near the town of Schaffhausen in northern Switzerland, between the cantons of Schaffhausen and Z� They are 150 m (450 ft) wide and 23 m (75 ft) high. In the winter months, the average water flow is 250 m�/s, while in the summer, the average water flow is 700 m�/s. The highest flow ever measured was 1,250 m�/s in 1965; and the lowest, 95 m�/s in 1921.
The falls cannot be climbed by fish, except by eels that are able to worm their way up over the rocks.
James Duffield Harding (1798 - 4 December 1863), was an English landscape painter, lithographer and author of drawing manuals. His use of tinted papers and opaque paints in watercolour proved influential. Harding was born at Deptford in 1798, the son of a drawing-master who had been a pupil of Paul Sandby. He was taught perspective by his father, and had lessons from Samuel Prout. At the age of thirteen he exhibited two drawings of buildings in the style of Prout at the Royal Academy
