Carleton E. Watkins's 1876-1880 photograph "The Father of the Forest - The Horse Back Side. Calaveras Grove" showcases a towering giant sequoia, its massive, fallen trunk dwarfing the surrounding forest. Watkins, renowned for his evocative landscapes of the American West, captured the grandeur and scale of nature using a circular format that creates a panoramic, immersive view. The image, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to Watkins's artistic mastery and the awe-inspiring beauty of California's natural wonders.
