THE COMPLETE MAMMOTH PHOTOGRAPHS - Carleton Watkins
American photographer Carleton Watkins (1829-1916) enjoyed one of the longest and most productive careers in nineteenth-century American photography. Drawing on Watkins' major print collections at the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, the Huntington Library in San Marino, California, and numerous smaller collections, the authors have assembled and catalogued all the artist's known mammoth plate photographs.
Included are views of Yosemite, San Francisco and the Pacific coast, as well as the railroads, mines and sawmills of Western America. The work will contribute not only to a better understanding of this pioneering photographer, but also to depicting the barely explored frontier in its last moments of pristine beauty. The catalog is organized by region and includes an inventory of Watkins' negatives and an illustrated guide to his signatures, of value to researchers, collectors and dealers alike.
