These vintage photographs trace America's fascination with untouched wilderness, pastoral views, exotic geological formations, Indian territories, farmlands and prairies, national parks, industrial land development, and commemorative sites of former wars. From the dawn of photography to the present day, artists have transformed the land into symbols and signature images. The giants of early and modern photography represented here include Carleton Watkins, Timothy O'Sullivan, Eadweard Muybridge, Ansel Adams, Doris Ullman, Bret Weston, Aaron Siskind, Mark Klett, Linda Connor, William Christenberry, and many more.
