Catalogue Note

View in the High Sierra is printed on lustrous single-weight paper and mounted on a white board with a slick white clay or baryta coating on its front and on the reverse.  The photographer's early Ansel Easton Adams label was one that he used from 1930 to 1935.

This print may be unique.  This image has not been located in the Ansel Adams archives at the Center for Creative Photography in Tucson.  A similar image titled The Palisade Group from Windy Point  was published in the Sierra Club Bulletin, Vol. XXI, February 1936.
