EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white albumen print, titled "The Lower Yosemite Fall, Yosemite Valley, Mariposa County, Cal. 1861/76" is a stunning piece of art captured by Carleton Emmons Watkins in the late 19th century. The photograph showcases the majestic beauty of Yosemite National Park's lower falls against the backdrop of Mariposa County's breathtaking landscape. Watkins' mastery in stereoscopic photography is evident in this image, as it transports viewers into a different era and allows them to experience the grandeur of nature firsthand. The cascading waters of the Merced River create a mesmerizing cataract that flows gracefully into an estuary below. As one gazes at this artwork, they are transported back in time to witness America's natural wonders through Watkins' lens. The composition captures not only the physical features but also evokes emotions associated with awe-inspiring landscapes. "The Lower Yosemite Fall" serves as a testament to Watkins' artistic vision and technical expertise. It stands as a reminder of our country's rich geographical heritage and highlights the importance of preserving these natural phenomena for future generations. Displayed proudly at the Art Institute Chicago, this albumen silver print continues to inspire visitors with its timeless beauty and serves as an important artifact from America's past.
