EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "[The Canon of the American River, C. P. R. R. ]" by Carleton Watkins takes us back to the scenic beauty of Lake Tahoe in California during the late 19th century. The image, captured around 1880, showcases the remarkable talent and artistry of Watkins as he expertly composed this breathtaking scene. Measuring at an impressive 35.3 x 51.7 cm (13 7/8 x 20 3/8 in. ), this albumen silver print transports viewers into a world where nature reigns supreme. The grandeur of the American River is beautifully depicted, with its crystal-clear waters flowing through a majestic canyon that stretches as far as the eye can see. Watkins' mastery lies not only in capturing the sheer scale and magnificence of this natural wonder but also in his ability to convey a sense of tranquility and serenity through his lens. The play between light and shadow adds depth to every detail, enhancing our appreciation for both nature's power and delicate intricacies. Presented on a later modern mount measuring 47.3 x 59.8 cm (18 5/8 x 23 9/16 in. ), this photograph demands attention wherever it is displayed. It serves as a timeless reminder of America's awe-inspiring landscapes and invites us to pause, reflect, and marvel at their enduring beauty
