EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mirror View El Capitan Yosemite ca 1872" transports us back to the awe-inspiring beauty of Yosemite National Park in the late 19th century. The image, printed around 1876 using the albumen silver print technique, showcases a remarkable mirror-like reflection of El Capitan, one of Yosemite's most iconic granite cliffs. The photographer behind this masterpiece is attributed to Carleton E. Watkins, an esteemed American artist who dedicated his career to capturing the grandeur of nature through his lens. Known for his meticulous attention to detail and composition, Watkins expertly framed this shot to highlight both the majestic presence of El Capitan and its mirrored counterpart on still waters below. As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we are transported into a bygone era where untouched wilderness reigned supreme. The glass negative used for printing adds a unique depth and clarity to every minute detail captured within the frame. The Liszt Collection has preserved this extraordinary piece as part of their vast photographic archives. Its inclusion in their collection serves as a testament not only to its artistic value but also its significance in documenting America's natural wonders during a time when photography was still in its infancy. This print invites us to marvel at nature's splendor while paying homage to early pioneers like Carleton E. Watkins who paved the way for future generations of photographers seeking inspiration from our planet's breathtaking landscapes.
