Rob Cooper has put over thirty of Timothy O'Sullivan's photos here, most double size of the two I culled above. Having stood at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, I can understand the breathtaking aura that these convey. Enjoy!

Not often we see collages like this about the US - thought you might be interested. Cheers. :^)

Some of these pictures are in locations that I could drive to in much less than an hour: the Washoe Paiute at Cottonwood Springs (pic 18), Pyramid Lake (second pic from the top), Carson Sink dunes (pic 12), Gold Hill (Virginia City, pic 13), and the good old Truckee River which flows right through town. One or two of those pics were taken in places where I am precisely certain where the camera was set up.
Those pics i listed above are basically my backyard, but I will say that the original photographer seemed to miss taking pictures of some of the more splendid vistas in the local area. I guess that he left that for Ansel Adams to photograph some 80 years later.
See my FR profile page to see what this area looks like today in color photography.

Thanks. Beautiful
I’m struck by the resolution of the camera.

If these photos were taken by Mr. Sullivan over 120 years ago, how are they still protected by HIS copyright?
He himself expired long ago.

At least Getty isn’t claiming ownership. Yet...

Here's a
Google Street View of the twin buttes at Green River, WY. It's from I80 looking roughly back along the line of sight of the photo, with a Hampton Inn in the foreground. I believe the Hampton Inn lies on the flat middle ground of the photo, just to the left of the nearest butte, consistently with the Street View POV.
