Description
Yosemite's Overhanging Rock in Sepia -
Watercolor 9 X 6 - Perched 3,214 feet up on Yosemite's Overhanging Rock, William Henry Jackson prepares to take a historic photo for which he became famous.
William Henry Jackson got a last-minute invitation to join the 1870 U.S. government survey (predecessor of U.S. Geological Survey) of the Yellowstone River and Rocky Mountains led by Ferdinand Hayden. He also was a member of the Hayden Geological Survey of 1871 which led to the creation of Yellowstone National Park. Painter Thomas Moran was also part of the expedition, and the two artists worked closely together to document the Yellowstone region.
