"Pohono, Bridal Veil Fall, 940 Feet, Yosemite" is a renowned photograph captured by the eminent American photographer Carleton E. Watkins. Taken in the 19th century, this photograph is part of Watkins' extensive body of work that documents the majestic landscapes of the American West, particularly the Yosemite Valley. Watkins is celebrated for his pioneering use of large-format cameras and his ability to capture the grandeur and sublime beauty of natural landscapes, which played a significant role in the early conservation movement in the United States.

The photograph features Bridalveil Fall, one of Yosemite National Park's most iconic waterfalls, which plunges 620 feet (189 meters) from a hanging valley into the Yosemite Valley. The name "Pohono" is derived from the Native American Ahwahneechee tribe's name for the waterfall, which means "Spirit of the Puffing Wind." Watkins' image captures the ethereal quality of the waterfall, with its delicate, misty spray set against the rugged cliffs and verdant foliage of the valley.

Watkins' work, including this photograph, was instrumental in influencing public perception and appreciation of the American wilderness. His images were used to advocate for the preservation of Yosemite, leading to its designation as a national park in 1890. The clarity, composition, and scale of Watkins' photographs were groundbreaking at the time and continue to be celebrated for their artistic and historical significance.

"Pohono, Bridal Veil Fall, 940 Feet, Yosemite" exemplifies Watkins' mastery of the photographic medium and his deep connection to the landscapes he documented. His work not only provides a visual record of the natural beauty of Yosemite but also reflects the broader cultural and environmental movements of the 19th century. Today, Watkins' photographs are held in high esteem and are preserved in numerous museum collections, including the J. Paul Getty Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, ensuring that his legacy endures for future generations to appreciate.
