"Selected Images Of Yosemite, C. 1875" is a collection of photographs by the renowned American photographer Carleton E. Watkins. Watkins, who is celebrated for his pioneering work in landscape photography, captured the majestic beauty of Yosemite Valley during the mid-19th century. His images played a significant role in shaping public perception of the American West and contributed to the early conservation movement that ultimately led to the establishment of Yosemite National Park.

Carleton E. Watkins was born in 1829 in Oneonta, New York, and moved to California during the Gold Rush era. He initially worked in various jobs before discovering his passion for photography. Watkins' meticulous technique and use of large-format cameras allowed him to produce highly detailed and expansive images that were unprecedented at the time. His work in Yosemite began in the early 1860s, and he returned multiple times over the following decades to document the region's stunning landscapes.

The "Selected Images Of Yosemite, C. 1875" collection includes some of Watkins' most iconic photographs, featuring landmarks such as El Capitan, Half Dome, and Bridalveil Fall. These images are characterized by their clarity, composition, and the dramatic interplay of light and shadow, which highlight the grandeur and scale of Yosemite's natural features. Watkins' photographs were instrumental in conveying the sublime beauty of Yosemite to a broader audience, including influential figures such as President Abraham Lincoln, who signed the Yosemite Grant in 1864, setting aside the valley and the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias for public use and preservation.

Watkins' work not only had artistic significance but also historical and environmental impact. His images were used to advocate for the protection of natural landscapes and inspired future generations of photographers and conservationists. Today, Watkins is regarded as one of the foremost landscape photographers of the 19th century, and his Yosemite photographs remain a testament to his skill and vision. The "Selected Images Of Yosemite, C. 1875" collection continues to be celebrated for its contribution to both the art of photography and the preservation of America's natural heritage.
