EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "[Giant Redwood, Santa Cruz]" takes us back to the enchanting landscapes of 1880s California. The renowned American photographer Carleton Watkins skillfully captured the magnificence of this ancient giant redwood tree in Santa Cruz, a true testament to nature's grandeur. Measuring an impressive 53.3 x 36.5 cm (21 x 14 3/8 in. ), the image transports us into a world where time seems to stand still. The towering presence of the redwood is awe-inspiring, its colossal trunk reaching towards the heavens as if attempting to touch the sky itself. Watkins' use of albumen silver print enhances every intricate detail and texture within this remarkable scene. The play between light and shadow creates a mesmerizing contrast that adds depth and dimensionality to the photograph. The later modern mount measuring 58.9 x 44.1 cm (23 3/16 x 17 3/8 in. ) further emphasizes the importance given to preserving this historical piece for generations to come. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork from Liszt Collection, we are reminded of our connection with nature and how it can leave us humbled by its sheer magnitude. This photograph serves as a window into a bygone era when these majestic giants roamed freely across North America's landscape
