EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white albumen print takes us back to the 19th century, where a group of men and women strike a pose on a massive tree trunk. The photograph, titled "Section of the Original Big Tree, 92 ft. in circumference, 1870/71" is part of the renowned series "Mammoth Trees, California" by Anthony & Company. The image showcases the awe-inspiring size of this giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum), also known as Sierra redwood or Wellingtonia. Standing at an enormous 92 feet in circumference, it serves as a testament to nature's grandeur and power. As we observe this scene from long ago, we can't help but be drawn into the details captured by the skilled photographer. The intricate carvings etched onto the tree trunk hint at human interaction with these majestic giants. A ladder leans against its side, suggesting that people once climbed up to explore its lofty branches. Located within what is now considered a national park in California, this ancient redwood symbolizes both America's natural beauty and our fascination with monumental landmarks. It reminds us of our connection to nature and how small we are in comparison to these towering giants. Through this albumen silver print stereo no. 10 from Anthony & Company's collection held at Art Institute Chicago's art gallery, we are transported back in time to witness humanity's reverence for nature during the late 19th century.
