Golden Gate Canyon before 1891

"Golden Gate Canyon" is a black and white photograph by Frank Jay Haynes, a prominent landscape photographer from the late 19th century. Taken before 1891, the image captures a dramatic vista of a narrow canyon with a winding road leading into its depths. The stark contrasts of light and shadow, typical of Haynes's style, emphasize the rugged beauty of the natural landscape. The photograph showcases the photographer's interest in documenting the American West, capturing the raw and untamed nature of the region.
