Watkins's \u003cem\u003eThe Father of the Forest, Calaveras Grove\u003c\/em\u003e — a mammoth-plate photograph of a fallen giant sequoia that helped move Congress to protect the West, on large-format canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVisual Presence\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sepia-toned albumen print is dominated by a fallen giant tree trunk stretching diagonally across the lower two-thirds of the frame, its fissured bark and hollow openings rendered in fine textural detail. Two small figures stand atop the log in the middle distance, anchoring the composition and conveying the tree's enormous scale against the flanking standing timber. Pale, bleached wood surfaces contrast against deeper forest shadow, and the soft diffusion of light through the canopy gives the scene a quiet, somewhat sombre mood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Art\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarleton E. Watkins documents a fallen giant sequoia known as \"The Father of the Forest\" in Calaveras Grove, a tree measured at 112 feet in circumference. To capture images such as this, Watkins travelled to the Mariposa and Calaveras Groves carrying a mammoth-plate camera that produced 18 by 22 inch glass negatives — an extraordinary technical undertaking for the period. His photographs of the western forests and Yosemite are widely credited as the primary visual evidence that persuaded the US Congress and Abraham Lincoln to set aside Yosemite Valley as protected land, establishing the precedent for the entire US National Park system. This print is held in The Met's open-access collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpatial Function\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt home in hotel lobbies, foyer walls, and reception areas where a
