C1865-66 Albumen Print Vernal & Nevada Falls, Yosemite Valley, Carelton Watkins, Taber Publisher. Taber Publisher, San Francisco, California. Vernal and Nevada Falls from Washburn’s Point, Yosemite Valley, Cal. 7 7/8 x 9 5/8 inches. Rich tonal image, sharp and clean, light residue from previous mounting on verso. Less common early Carleton Watkins view of the Yosemite Valley from Washburn’s Point showing Vernal and Nevada Falls in the distance. Especially rich tonal example of this particular vantage point published later by Taber. The Getty museum holds an example without the Taber credit line and titled. Half Dome, a granite dome in Yosemite Valley, Yosemite National Park, California. He created a remarkable documentation of this natural wonder leading to its designation as a National Park. Isaiah West Taber was another San Francisco institution opening his own studio there in 1871 and somewhat the better business man than his contemporary Carleton Watkins. Acquiring Watkins’ print and negative stock following the photographer’s bankruptcy in 1881, he managed to successfully sell many of Watkins’ early views of the west and California with his own studio credit, rarely if ever crediting Watkins. Ironically, when the 1906 earthquake struck, it also destroyed Taber’s own negative and print collection including his holdings of Carleton Watkins works reported as eighty tons of portrait negatives and twenty tons of view negatives.

RARE ORIGINAL EXEMPLAR FROM A SERIES OF PHOTOGRAPHS by CARLETON WATKINS OF OLD CALIFORNIAN MISSIONS. WATKINS Carleton Eugene, American photographer of the 19th century. Born in New York, he moved to California and quickly became interested in photography. He focused mainly on landscape photography, and Yosemite Valley was one of his favourites. [Mission, San Carlos del Carmelo], near Monterey in California, circa 1883. Original albumen silver photograph. Undated but circa 1883 see Getty, 94. Laid down to card album leaf. Size: photograph – approx. 12in x 8¼in / mount – slightly larger. Light age-toning and minor fading. Minor waviness to mount. A pleasing example on the whole. Please ask if you require a more detailed condition report, and view gallery images closely. A rare original albumen photograph by Carleton Watkins which shows the m ission of San Carlos del Carmelo, near Monterey, in California, taken from the west with a glimpse of Carmel Bay on the right side. It is from a series of images by Watkins that documented old mission buildings in California. Original albumen exemplars from the mission series by Watkins are rare (his Yosemite photographs are better known, though equally elusive). The Getty archive holds an example of this exact photograph, at the same size 12in x 8¼in, but printed with its centre further to the left. Our example shows more of the landscape on the right hand side of the mission building, and less of the ruins on the left. But both are from the same negative, and Watkins presumably also produced this print in its full’mammoth’ form i. Circa 18in x 12in with the entirety of its landscape displayed. This exemplar was printed in around 1883 (as per Getty), presumably by Taber. The negative itself was made by Watkins sometime between the mid 1860s and early 1880s.
