EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning black and white albumen print, titled "Eagle Creek, Columbia River," was captured by the renowned American photographer Carleton Emmons Watkins in the 1860s. The image transports us back in time to the nineteenth century, offering a glimpse into the natural beauty and industrial development of the United States during this era. The photograph showcases the breathtaking scenery of Eagle Creek, a geographical feature located along the Columbia River. The crystal-clear waters of the river flow gracefully over the rocks, creating a mesmerizing contrast against the rugged terrain of the creek bed. In the foreground, a lone tree stands tall and proud, its branches reaching out towards the sky, adding a sense of serenity to the scene. However, the image also reveals the signs of human habitation and industrial progress. A waterwheel, a symbol of the industrial revolution, can be seen in the background, harnessing the power of the river to generate energy. The machine, with its intricate gears and wooden structure, stands in stark contrast to the natural setting, highlighting the intersection of nature and industry during this period. This photograph is a testament to the rich heritage of American art and the country's natural and industrial history. It is now part of the esteemed collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences. The image invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the beauty and complexity of the world around us.
