EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Benton Mills" showcases the remarkable talent of Carleton Watkins, an American photographer who lived from 1829 to 1916. Created in 1860 using a salted paper printing technique, this piece measures approximately 33.5 x 41.3 cm (13 3/16 x 16 1/4 in. ). The image transports us back in time to Benton Mills, a place shrouded in mystery and beauty. The composition is masterfully captured by Watkins' keen eye for detail and his ability to convey the essence of the scene before him. In this photograph, we are presented with a tranquil landscape that exudes serenity and tranquility. The mills stand tall against the backdrop of nature's splendor - rolling hills and lush greenery stretching as far as the eye can see. Watkins' use of light adds depth and dimension to the print, casting soft shadows on the structures while illuminating every intricate detail. It is evident that he carefully selected his vantage point to capture this picturesque moment. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of how photography has evolved over time but still retains its power to transport us through history. This particular print serves as a testament not only to Watkins' artistic prowess but also as a window into America's past during the mid-19th century.
