Text under caption: You are most cordially invited, together with your friends, to visit Watkin's Yosemite Art Gallery - Portrait and Landscape - 26 Montgomery Street. S.F. Our Photographic Views, embracing the different sizes, include all the places of interest on the Pacific Coast. (Extract from the London Art Journal) But in all that has depended on humsan art, hea has been most successful - especially in the selection of pictorial points of view, as well as in the delicate manipulation which is necessary to give free scope to the magic chamisty of listh. Between the wonders of Nature and the sill of man, we have certainly before us, in the views of the Yosemite Valley, the finest photographs that hve been seen in Europe. It is no small satisfaction to us to be able to bear this testimony to the work of an American artist. To the love of Nature, in her most sublime aspects, as well as to the collectors of what is most rare and perfect in photography, we can recommend no higher treat than will be procured by the purchase of Mr. Watkins' photographs of the Valley of the Grizzly Bear.
