EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Carleton Watkins takes us back to the year 1883, capturing a mesmerizing scene of "The Dalles, Extremes of High & Low Water, 92 ft" and the head of the Columbia River in Oregon. The image showcases Watkins' exceptional talent as an American photographer. In this albumen silver print measuring approximately 36.8 x 53.3 cm (14 1/2 x 21 in. ), Watkins skillfully captures the beauty and power of nature. The viewer is immediately drawn to the extremes depicted - from towering heights to deep lows - showcasing the dramatic fluctuations in water levels at The Dalles. The composition invites us to marvel at both the grandeur and intricacy of this natural wonder. As we gaze upon it, we can almost feel ourselves transported to that moment in time when Watkins clicked his camera shutter. Watkins' mastery lies not only in his ability to capture breathtaking landscapes but also in his technical prowess with albumen silver prints. This particular medium enhances every detail within the image, allowing us to appreciate each nuance and texture present. As we admire this remarkable piece from Carleton Watkins' collection, let us reflect on our own connection with nature's forces and how they shape our world. Through photography like this, we are reminded of both its immense power and delicate balance that must be preserved for future generations.
