Carleton E. Watkins (1829–1916) was one of the most famous American photographers of the 19th century. He moved to San Francisco in 1851, one of tens of thousands looking to strike it rich in the Gold Fields of California. When that venture did not pan out, Watkins eventually found photography, and his legacy includes essential images of San Francisco, Yosemite, and the American West.
