EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to First Street, San Francisco, in 1864. The image was captured by Carleton E. Watkins, an esteemed American photographer known for his stunning landscapes and cityscapes. Printed around 1876 using the albumen silver print technique, this photograph showcases the remarkable craftsmanship of early photography. In this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to a bustling street scene filled with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians going about their daily lives. The architecture of the buildings lining both sides of First Street reflects the charm and character of nineteenth-century San Francisco. The glass negative used to create this print adds a unique touch to its visual appeal. This delicate process required great skill and precision on Watkins' part as he expertly manipulated light and composition to capture every intricate detail. As we gaze upon this historical gem, it is impossible not to marvel at how much has changed since that momentous year in San Francisco's history. This photograph serves as a window into another era—a testament to both human progress and our enduring fascination with preserving moments through art.
