"The Vernal And Nevada Falls, From Glacier Point" (1865-66) is a seminal photograph by the renowned American photographer Carleton E. Watkins. Watkins, a pivotal figure in the history of American landscape photography, is celebrated for his breathtaking images of the American West, particularly the Yosemite Valley. This photograph, taken during one of his many expeditions to Yosemite, exemplifies his mastery in capturing the grandeur and sublime beauty of natural landscapes.

The image showcases the Vernal and Nevada Falls, two of Yosemite's most iconic waterfalls, as seen from Glacier Point. This vantage point provides a sweeping view of the cascading waters set against the rugged terrain and lush vegetation of the valley. Watkins' use of the mammoth plate camera, which utilized large glass negatives, allowed him to capture an extraordinary level of detail and clarity, making his photographs stand out for their sharpness and depth.

Watkins' work, including "The Vernal And Nevada Falls, From Glacier Point," played a crucial role in the early conservation movement in the United States. His photographs were instrumental in convincing lawmakers and the public of the need to preserve natural wonders like Yosemite. In fact, his images were presented to Congress and were influential in the decision to establish Yosemite as a protected state park in 1864, which later became a national park.

The photograph is not only a testament to Watkins' technical skill and artistic vision but also an important historical document that reflects the burgeoning appreciation for America's natural landscapes during the 19th century. Today, Watkins' photographs are held in high esteem and are part of numerous prestigious collections, including those of the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Library of Congress. "The Vernal And Nevada Falls, From Glacier Point" remains a celebrated example of Watkins' contribution to both art and environmental conservation.
