Ansel Adams spent much of the 1920s-40s photographing California's Yosemite National Park. He was initially drawn to the landscape because of its serenity, and he found it a place of healing after surviving Spanish influenza in 1919. Adams' black-and-white images continue to play a key role in promoting the national park and advocating for conservation efforts.

Superb condition; some hinging residue to verso, otherwise no apparent condition concerns.
