EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Cathedral Spires, Yosemite, 1861/76" was created by the talented Carleton Emmons Watkins. Taken in the late 19th century as part of his iconic series "Watkins Pacific Coast" this albumen print stereo showcases the breathtaking beauty of Yosemite National Park. The image transports us to a time when America's natural wonders were just beginning to be explored and appreciated. The towering Cathedral Spires dominate the composition, their majestic presence contrasting against the rugged mountainous backdrop. Watkins' mastery of stereoscopic photography allows us to immerse ourselves in this awe-inspiring landscape, almost feeling like we are standing right there amidst nature's grandeur. Yosemite Valley in California is renowned for its stunning rock formations and pristine wilderness, making it a favorite subject among artists throughout history. In this particular piece, Watkins skillfully captures not only the physical features but also conveys a sense of tranquility and reverence that Yosemite evokes. Carleton Emmons Watkins was an influential figure in American art during his time, known for his pioneering work in landscape photography. His use of albumen silver prints adds depth and richness to every detail captured on film. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this remarkable artwork serves as a reminder of our country's rich geographical heritage while showcasing Watkins' artistic vision and technical expertise. It stands as a testament to both nature's enduring beauty and human creativity through photography.
