EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases the mesmerizing natural wonder known as "Devil Slide, Utah". Taken by renowned American photographer Carleton Watkins in 1873-1874, this albumen silver print captures the raw beauty and ruggedness of Utah's landscape. The Devil Slide is a geological formation that stretches across miles of desert terrain, resembling two massive stone slides descending down a mountainside. The sheer magnitude and striking symmetry of these rock formations are truly awe-inspiring. Watkins' keen eye for detail and composition is evident in this photograph, as he expertly captures the intricate textures and contours of the rocks. As one gazes at this image, they can almost feel themselves transported to the heart of Utah's wilderness. The play between light and shadow adds depth to the photograph, enhancing its dramatic effect. It serves as a reminder of nature's power and grandeur. Carleton Watkins was an influential figure in early American photography, known for his breathtaking landscapes that captured both the majesty and fragility of nature. His work played a crucial role in shaping public perception about America's western frontier during that time. This particular albumen silver print not only showcases Watkins' artistic prowess but also provides us with a glimpse into Utah's rich geological history. It stands as a testament to both human creativity behind the lens and Mother Nature’s ability to create extraordinary wonders like Devil Slide.
