EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to the enchanting coastal town of Monterey, California in the late 19th century. The image showcases a breathtaking view of Hotel Del Monte's meticulously manicured lawn, captured by the talented American photographer Carleton Watkins around 1883. As our eyes wander through this picturesque scene, we are immediately drawn to the grandeur and elegance of Hotel Del Monte. Its magnificent architecture stands proudly against a backdrop of lush greenery, inviting guests to indulge in its luxurious accommodations and impeccable service. The sprawling lawn stretches out before us like a verdant carpet, perfectly complementing the hotel's regal presence. Watkins' expert use of albumen silver print technique adds an ethereal quality to this already stunning composition. Light dances upon every blade of grass and illuminates each leaf on surrounding trees with a soft glow. It is as if time has stood still within this photograph, allowing us to appreciate both nature's beauty and man's craftsmanship. Monterey itself holds a special place in history as one of California's oldest settlements. This print serves as a testament to its allure even during its early years when it was rapidly becoming known as an idyllic vacation destination for those seeking respite from bustling city life. With this remarkable piece hanging on your wall, you can almost feel yourself transported back in time - breathing in the fresh ocean air while basking in the tranquility that only Monterey can offer.
