Description

Discover the mesmerizing natural wonders of Yosemite through the eyes of 19th-century photographer Carleton Watkins. Travel back to the time when photography was in its infancy, and learn about Watkins' grueling journey with almost a ton of photographic equipment to capture the untamed splendor of Yosemite. Witness how Watkins' stunning images influenced pivotal figures, including President Abraham Lincoln, leading to the establishment of the Yosemite Grant Act of 1864. Despite the grandeur he captured, Watkins' personal life was marked by tragic decline, culminating in an unmarked grave.
