Carleton Watkins 4235 - Lake Angela This scene is part of Watkins' New Series, shot sometime after 1875. It looks across Lake Angela from the Northwest with a view of Donner Peak in the distance. Photography in those days required a lot of equipment, supplies and chemicals. It's not known if he transported what he needed to the location by carrying it all around the lake, or if he came across in a boat.
