EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating albumen print that transports viewers back to the enchanting landscapes of 19th century America. Created by the talented Carleton Emmons Watkins, this stereo photograph captures the breathtaking beauty of Yosemite Valley in California. The image showcases a picturesque footbridge gracefully spanning over a serene lake surrounded by lush forests and towering mountains. The black and white tones add depth and contrast to the scene, emphasizing the natural wonders of this iconic national park. Watkins' mastery in stereoscopic photography allows for an immersive experience as viewers can almost feel themselves standing on that very bridge, taking in the grandeur of their surroundings. The meticulous detail captured in this albumen silver print brings each element to life – from every plant swaying gently in the breeze to every ripple on the tranquil lake's surface. This artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also holds historical significance as it represents an era when exploration and preservation were at their peak. It reminds us of our country's rich geographical heritage and encourages us to appreciate and protect these natural treasures for future generations. Displayed proudly at the Art Institute Chicago, "The Bridge, Yosemite, 1861/76" stands as a testament to Carleton Emmons Watkins' artistic prowess and his contribution to American landscape photography. It serves as an invitation for all who gaze upon it to embark on their own journey through time into one of nature's most awe-inspiring creations – Yosemite National Park.
