Yosemite Falls, which drops in three tiers and ranks among the tallest waterfalls in North America, is the centerpiece here, mirrored in still water beneath the valley's rock walls. The Pillsbury Picture Company issued the view around 1906, a year when federal control of Yosemite Valley was being restored after decades under California's state management. Scenes like this were popular with visitors who arrived by rail and stage, and the reflection is what makes the composition worth a closer look.
