EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Carleton Watkins in 1861, showcases the breathtaking beauty of Lake Yo Semite and its surroundings. The image captures the serene reflection of Mt. Watkins on the tranquil waters of Mirror Lake, creating a mesmerizing mirror-like effect. Located in Yosemite, California, this picturesque scene transports us to a time when nature's untouched splendor was captured through the lens of early photography. The albumen silver print technique used by Watkins adds depth and richness to every detail, making this print a true work of art. Lake Ah-Wi-Yah is also featured in this composition, adding another layer of tranquility to an already idyllic setting. As we gaze upon this image today, we can't help but be reminded of the timeless allure that drew artists and explorers alike to Yosemite National Park. Carleton Watkins' mastery behind the camera shines through as he expertly frames each element within the frame – from the towering peaks to the delicate ripples on Mirror Lake's surface. This photograph serves as a testament to his skill as an American photographer during this era. As we admire this historic piece from Liszt Collection, let it transport us back in time and allow us to appreciate nature's grandeur preserved forever within these remarkable landscapes.
