EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print stereo, titled "Mirror View, Yosemite Valley, Mariposa County, Cal. 1861/76" transports viewers to the breathtaking beauty of Yosemite National Park in California. Captured by the talented Carleton Emmons Watkins, this artwork showcases his mastery of stereoscopic photography. The image presents a mirror-like reflection of the stunning Yosemite Valley in all its glory. The towering trees and lush vegetation are mirrored flawlessly on the calm surface of the river that flows through this picturesque landscape. The serene estuary leads our gaze towards a distant lake nestled amidst the majestic mountains. Watkins' skillful use of photography adds depth and contrast to every element within the frame. Each tree stands tall with intricate details visible even from afar, while plants along the riverbank add a touch of vibrancy to this monochromatic scene. As we immerse ourselves in this mesmerizing view, it becomes apparent why Yosemite National Park is considered one of America's most treasured natural wonders. This photograph serves as a testament to both Watkins' artistic vision and his ability to capture nature's grandeur with unparalleled precision. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this albumen silver print invites us to appreciate not only Watkins' talent but also our country's rich geographical features that continue to inspire awe and wonderment today.
