National Park photographer: Charleton Watkins’ images spurred creation of yosemite
from page 30
>
intent to create images that would
convey the scale and beauty of the
landscape.
Using a 2-foot-by-3-foot camera
of his own design, hundreds of glass
plate negatives, and 2,000 pounds
of gear, he emerged two months
later with 30 of the most influential
photographs ever captured.
His Yosemite portfolio circulated
among intellectuals and politicians
in the east, and ultimately helped
spur the legislation, signed by
President Lincoln in 1864, protecting
that special place from development.
Yosemite went on to become a
national park in 1890.
An exhibition of eight of Watkins’
Yosemite prints, meticulously
reproduced from originals in the
Billings Family Archives at Billings
Farm & Museum, are currently on
display at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller
NHP.
Titled “Creating an American
Landscape,” the show is part of an
ongoing series of exhibitions at the
national park exploring the role
of art in the American conservation
movement. The exhibit is on
display at the Carriage Barn Visitor
Center at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller
NHP and can be viewed daily 10
a.m. – 5 p.m. through Oct. 31.
Park Curator Ryan Polk said,
“Due to a series of tragic events,
Watkins, the man, was relatively
unknown until Tyler Green painstakingly
reassembled the 19th century
world around him. His book is
a tremendous achievement.”
“Billings Farm & Museum is delighted
to partner with the Park in
welcoming Tyler Green to share his
insightful perspectives on Carleton
Watkins, whose story touches on
Frederick Billings, Woodstock, and
the amazing photographs that we
hold in our collection,” said David
Simmons, president of the Woodstock
Foundation.
Admission to the program and
book signing is free; reservations
are strongly recommended: call
802-457-2355 or email reservations@billingsfarm.org.
