Yosemite Valley from Mariposa Trail, c. 1865. Creator: Charles Leander Weed (American, 1824-1903)
Yosemite Valley from Mariposa Trail, c. 1865. In 1859, Charles L. Weed made the first photographs of the wild and breathtakingly beautiful Yosemite region in California. These pioneering photographs spoke of the areas splendors to future visitors and artists. Probably five years later, he returned to Yosemite to begin creating his remarkable mammoth plate views (roughly 17x22 inches). This celebrated vista of the distant, mountainous, forest scene is the best known of Weeds modest production of large-scale photographs. The serenity and order of the composition is punctuated by an isolated, spindly tree perched at a cliffs edge, asymmetrically dividing the composition while uniting the blank sky with the mountainous landscape below. The figure leaning against the tree in the foreground gives scale to the scene and suggests human isolation in the vastness of nature
