Giant sequoias rise over a clearing here, with visitors and a log building set among the trunks, which places this view in the Mariposa Grove area of Yosemite rather than the open valley floor. Panoramic prints like this one were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when photographers used wide-format cameras to show the scale of the Sierra Nevada's giant trees. Standing figures at the base of the trunks give a sense of how large these sequoias are, a scale that was hard to convey in ordinary photographs. Yosemite was set aside as a state grant in 1864 and later became a national park in 1890, and the grove drew early tourists eager to see its trees.
