John P. Soule

Nevada Fall (700 feet high), From Foot-Bridge, after Snow Storm in July, No. 1208 from the series "California -- Yo-Semite Valley"

1870

Documenting the dramatic weather patterns of the Sierra Nevada, this stereocard captures the unusual sight of July snow in Yosemite Valley. The albumen print's tonal range effectively renders both the delicate snow formations and the powerful cascade of Nevada Fall.
