The photographs of Staubbach Falls in a variety of sizes and formats offer a compelling example of both the quality and significance of the Braun firm's work during these years. The dark radiance of the image captures the sublime nature of the Alpine landscape as no other. This composition was widely known and became the chief model for images of the Falls.
