Ansel Adams - "Mushrooms, Forest Floor, Yosemite Valley, CA"
Entry/Object ID
2026.16.1
Description
This collection of 20 proof prints by Ansel Adams offers a rare glimpse into the working process of America's most notable photographer. Without stamps or signatures, these prints were likely intended for reference or reproduction, and not for display as finished "fine art" prints. The soft, warm tones of the paper on which these prints were made, along with the image dates and apparent lack of fluorescence, suggest they were printed around the 1940s, although this assumption isn't certain.
