Taken in 1860 using a salted paper print technique, this image showcases Watkins' exceptional talent and keen eye for detail. The photograph features a magnificent railroad bridge spanning across Cape Horn, showcasing the impressive engineering feat of its time. The dome-topped structure stands tall and proud against the backdrop of nature's beauty. The composition is masterfully framed to highlight both the grandeur of the bridge and the surrounding landscape. Watkins' meticulous craftsmanship is evident in every aspect of this print. The clarity and precision with which he captured each element make it feel as though one could step right into this scene from history.
