Item Information

Title:
The Grizzly Giant with a group on hunters at the foot of the Tree, Mariposa Grove, Yosemite
Title (alt.):
Grizzly Giant, 33 feet diameter - Mariposa Grove, Mariposa County, Cal.
Description:
From catalogue raisonné: Watkins is distinguished by pairs of pictures made at the same location. Some of these were made a few minutes or hours apart with some elements only subtly changed (cat. No. 103) while others, such as this, were made on a return visit and show greater differences. In the present image the camera is several meters closer to the tree and positions at a more upward-facing angle than it was in cat. no. 101, made about 5 years later.
