EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to the majestic Cascades of Oregon in 1867. The image, printed around 1876, showcases the breathtaking beauty of this natural wonder through an albumen silver print. The use of this technique enhances the contrast and tonal range, allowing every detail to come alive with a remarkable clarity. The photographer behind this masterpiece is none other than Carleton E. Watkins, an esteemed American artist who lived from 1829 to 1916. Known for his pioneering work in landscape photography during the mid-19th century, Watkins had a unique talent for capturing nature's grandeur like no one else. In this particular photograph, Watkins expertly frames the cascading waterfalls against a backdrop of lush greenery and towering cliffs. The sheer power and elegance of these falls are awe-inspiring as they rush down with unyielding force. It is fascinating to imagine how difficult it must have been for Watkins to capture such a scene using glass negatives at that time. Yet he managed to immortalize this moment forever on film, preserving it for generations to come. As we gaze upon this historical gem today, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significance as a testament to human ingenuity and our enduring fascination with nature's wonders.
