Cape Horn near Celilo, 1867, Albumen silver print from glass negative, Image: 40 x 52.4cm (15 3/4 x 20 5/8in.), Photographs, Carleton E. Watkins (American, 1829–1916), When Watkins traveled up the Columbia River, he photographed both the natural and manmade landmarks-the rocky outcrops and cascades, and the small towns, mills, and docks along the way. His path followed that of the Oregon Steam Navigation Company, and as he photographed not only the company's route but also its facilities, he may have been working either on commission or with a speculative eye for the company's business
