About the Item

This early albumen silver print is titled in ink on the front of the mount. Printed before 1876, when Watkins lost his negatives to a creditor, who sold them to his competitor, Isaiah W. Taber. This print is mounted to its original album leaf, excised from a Grand Tour album compiled by a noble Swiss family. This plate was taken at the same position as the mammoth plate of Three Brothers (Naef Hult-Lewis Cat. 170), with a slight deviation in composition.

"Yosemite" - Black White Landscape Photograph AP
By Jeff Nixon
Located in Soquel, CA
Beautiful black and white landscape photograph titled "Yosemite," by Jeff Nixon (American, 20th Century). A mountain range stands high against a cloudless sky and above a forest reflected in a pond below. Signed "Jeff Nixon AP, Yosemite '87," on verso. Presented in a new white mat, 16"H x 20"W. Jeff Nixon began photographing in the late 1960's, and by the end of the millennium had acquired an impressive list of credentials; many years as a year round resident of Yosemite Valley, noted instructor in the techniques of black and white photography which he gleaned from his years of working with Ansel Adams, and learning the Zone System from the master himself. Jeff has been an instructor for two California Junior Colleges, Modesto and Columbia, has led extension courses for UC Santa Cruz and UC Berkeley, and taught and lectured in numerous seminars and classes. He has taught workshops and has had many showings nationwide, working with Morley Baer, Chris Rainier, Rod Dresser, and John Sexton as either field or darkroom assistant. He was also the production and research assistant for the Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust, Carmel Highlands...
