Watkins, Carleton E

    0.02 sec.

Watkins, Carleton E (1829–1916)

US photographer. Lured to California by the gold rush, he took odd jobs before learning photography in San Francisco. He photographed Yosemite with stereoscopic and special wide-view cameras (1861–67), winning a gold medal at the Paris Exposition in 1868. Unfortunately, few of his negatives remain, as they were lost to creditors in the 1870s; he reshot many of his photograhs, but lost them again in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Watkins was born in Oneonta, New York.
