Book Overview
A magnificent deluxe, oversized book timed for the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's signing of the Yosemite Grant, an event that laid the groundwork for the National Parks system. Ansel Adams first visited Yosemite in 1916, at the age of fourteen, and returned every year throughout his life. It was in Yosemite that he fell in love with Western wilderness and became a photographer; he made more photographs at Yosemite than at any other place. Roughly 150 breathtaking images are exquisitely reproduced in this large-format clothbound book. There are notable portraits of El Captain (the famous rock face whose Dawn Wall was recently free-climbed for the first time), Half Dome, Cathedral Rocks, Royal Arches, and other distinctive rock formations that frame the valley; grand views in all seasons and all states of weather; intimate details of nature from the Valley floor; the waterfalls--Bridaveil, Yosemite, Vernal, Nevada; studies of trees, from the giants of the Mariposa Grove to the exquisite white blossoms of the dogwood. There are gathering and clearing storms, snow and ice, bright sunshine, and the subtle shades of dawn and dusk.
Partnering with Amazon
At The Ansel Adams Gallery, we care a great deal about our customers and the environment. In order to give our customers the best prices available on merchandise and to help conserve our natural resources consumed by transportation and packaging, we are happy to partner with amazon.com to fulfill some of the products ordered from our website. For instance, many of our books and calendars are obtained from a publisher in New York. Shipping an item from New York to Yosemite National Park, only to re-package it and ship it to another destination, perhaps right back to the East Coast, is wasteful and unnecessary. By partnering with Amazon, we utilize their fulfillment system, which enables us to deliver your purchase in the most efficient means possible and provide you with the best price available.
