Note
Smaller than Watkins' later mammoth plate prints, and similar in size to his 1859 Mariposa Estate views.
Attribution and location in pencil on verso. Also dated in pencil: 1857 [or 1867?]. Salted paper medium, dimensions, and comparison to similar Watkins view of Washerwoman's Lagoon and the Golden Gate suggest a date of ca. 1857-1859.
Part of: Miscellaneous mammoth plate photographs by Carleton E. Watkins.
