EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lake Tahoe, from the Warm Springs" was taken by Carleton Emmons Watkins in 1878/82. The image showcases the stunning beauty of Lake Tahoe, nestled amidst the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California, United States. Watkins' mastery of albumen print stereo photography is evident in this piece, as he expertly captures the serene atmosphere and natural grandeur of the lake. The composition transports viewers to a time when America's landscapes were still largely untouched by human intervention. The black and white tones add a timeless quality to the photograph, emphasizing its historical significance. As one gazes at this artwork, they can almost feel the warmth of sunlight reflecting off the calm waters of Lake Tahoe. Watkins' work not only demonstrates his artistic talent but also serves as an important record of geographical features during that era. His photographs were instrumental in documenting various locations across America and played a significant role in shaping public perception about these places. Today, this albumen silver print continues to be admired for its scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal. It reminds us of our connection with nature and invites contemplation on our place within it. This remarkable piece is housed at the Art Institute Chicago where it stands as a testament to Watkins' legacy as one of America's pioneering photographers.
