‘Pure’ Landscape Photography Versus Including the Human Element

[jnantz]

Three 19th century views by the Bierstadt brothers, Albert, Charles, and Edward who traveled together during the 1860's and 1870's creating art. All were photographers with Albert making stereoscopic views during the Lander Expedition of 1859 before going on to fame as a painter of the Hudson River School. While Albert was painting, Charles and Edward photographed.

Both paintings are Yosemite views and the photograph is an albumen print ~16x13".

Ah, the urban landscape.

I think that odd head - bicycle thing is the gurney monument to the French Revolution, representing the sacredness of the guillotine. It captures the last expression on the face of a man wondering what his selfie would look like as the blade came down. At least that thing is hypothetically capable of being pushed into the ocean out of sight, where it belongs.
