Zeehonden bij de Farallon-eilanden 1871 - 1891

This stereoscopic view, "Zeehonden bij de Farallon-eilanden," by Carleton E. Watkins, captures a scene of numerous sea lions resting on the rocks of the Farallon Islands off the coast of California. Taken between 1871 and 1891, Watkins's photograph showcases the natural world of the Pacific Coast. The use of stereoscopic photography, which creates a 3D effect, immerses the viewer in the scene, offering a unique perspective of the sea lions and their rocky habitat. This work is a testament to Watkins's mastery of landscape photography and his commitment to capturing the grandeur of the American West.
