EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in Santa Clara, California. Taken by renowned American photographer Carleton Watkins in 1863, this print showcases the picturesque "Town on the Hill" in New Almaden. The image transports us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, as we gaze upon the quaint buildings nestled amidst rolling hills. The town exudes an air of tranquility, with its charming houses dotting the landscape and smoke gently rising from chimneys. Watkins' expert use of albumen silver print brings out intricate details, allowing us to appreciate every architectural nuance and texture. The play between light and shadow adds depth to the scene, enhancing our visual experience. As we explore this historical gem frozen in time, it becomes evident that New Almaden was not just any ordinary town; it held significance due to its association with mining activities during California's Gold Rush era. This photo serves as a testament to both Watkins' artistic prowess and his ability to capture moments that would otherwise be lost forever. Whether you are an avid history enthusiast or simply appreciate fine art photography, this stunning print is sure to transport you back in time and evoke feelings of nostalgia for simpler days gone by.
