"Half-dome, From Glacier Point, Yosemite" is a renowned photograph captured by the eminent American photographer Carleton E. Watkins. Taken in the late 19th century, this image is a quintessential representation of Watkins' pioneering work in landscape photography and his significant contributions to the documentation of the American West. The photograph features the iconic Half Dome, a granite crest rising more than 4,737 feet above the valley floor in Yosemite National Park, California. This natural monolith, with its sheer face and rounded back, has become one of the most recognizable landmarks in the park and a symbol of the grandeur of the American wilderness.

Watkins' photograph is celebrated not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its technical excellence. Utilizing large-format cameras and mammoth glass plate negatives, Watkins was able to capture an extraordinary level of detail and clarity. His meticulous composition and use of natural light highlight the dramatic contrasts and textures of the landscape, bringing a sense of depth and majesty to the image. The vantage point from Glacier Point, a prominent overlook in Yosemite, provides a sweeping view of the valley and the imposing presence of Half Dome, emphasizing the scale and beauty of the natural environment.

This photograph, along with Watkins' other works, played a crucial role in the early conservation movement. His images of Yosemite were instrumental in convincing President Abraham Lincoln and Congress to pass the Yosemite Grant in 1864, which set aside the area as a public trust and laid the groundwork for the establishment of national parks in the United States. Watkins' artistry and dedication to capturing the sublime beauty of the American landscape have left an enduring legacy, influencing generations of photographers and contributing to the preservation of some of the nation's most treasured natural sites.
