Carleton Watkins became nationally renowned for the spectacular series of mammoth-plate photographs he made of Yosemite Valley in 1861. On that trip, and on his seven subsequent visits to the valley, Watkins brought with him an immense, custom-made camera that was capable of exposing 18-by-22-inch glass plates. Though unwieldy, particularly because they had to be sensitized and processed in the field, these mammoth-plate negatives allowed Watkins to capture the vastness and grandeur of Yosemite in exceptional detail.In the 19th century, Yosemite was often seen as a foil for San Francisco, an Edenic alternative to the dirty and congested city.
