Description
Photograph of a drawing depicting Yosemite Falls in Yosemite National Park, ca.1865-1885. A smooth creek in the foreground reflects the park as it winds from the foreground on the left to the trees on the right. The banks appear to be sandy with large, dark trees draping over the water. Beyond the trees that line the water, plots of grass spotted with trees can be seen. Tall, steep mountains dusted with grass and trees stand above the park in the background with a tall, lightly-colored waterfall spilling off the cliffs at center.
