Author Author of the book upon which the photograph appears Shabecoff, Phiip Photograph Title Title of photograph The first view of the Yosemite Valley from the Mariposa Trail 1865-6 (detail) Book Genre History/Environmental Policy Photo Genre Genre of Photograph Landscape Photographer Photographer Watkins, Carleton Designer Designer of book cover Kass, Francine Notes Notes associated with the item Carleton E. Watkins is an appropriate choice for the cover of Philip Shabecoffs book about the history of the American environmental movement. It was partly on the strength of Watkins early Yosemite Valley photographs that Abraham Lincoln signed legislation protecting the area, eventually resulting in the creation of the National Parks system. On the book jacket, the original Watkins photograph, The first view of the Yosemite Valley from the Mariposa Trail, has been trimmed down to a small, polygonal detail, shaped, I suppose, to suggest mountain peaks, and as compositional pointers toward the books title.
