Washington Column, 208 Feet, Yosemite is a notable photograph taken by Carleton E. Watkins, a pioneering American photographer renowned for his images of the American West, particularly Yosemite National Park. This photograph is part of Watkins's impressive body of work that played a crucial role in influencing public perceptions of the Western landscapes in the United States during the 19th century and contributed to the preservation efforts of these areas.

The photograph captures the Washington Column, a prominent granite feature located in Yosemite Valley. Standing at approximately 208 feet, this natural column is a striking example of the vertical rock formations that characterize the region. Watkins's photograph, taken during one of his many trips to Yosemite in the 1860s, showcases his mastery of the then-nascent medium of landscape photography. His ability to frame and capture the grandeur and scale of the column amidst the surrounding landscape helped to communicate the majestic and sublime nature of the American wilderness to audiences who might never visit these remote locations.

Watkins used a large-format camera which allowed him to produce large, detailed negatives resulting in clear, detailed prints that stood out for their high quality and artistic value. His photographs not only served as records of exploration but also as tools for conservation. They were influential in the establishment of Yosemite as a state park in 1864, and later as a national park in 1890.

Washington Column, 208 Feet, Yosemite is an exemplary piece of Watkins's work that not only highlights his technical skill but also his profound impact on the early environmental movement and the development of photography as a respected art form.
