| This
photograph of a typical overland 49er is as important for
its historical significance as it is for its esthetic
uniqueness. The image has a certain monumental quality
about it: the way he is framed standing up, his pose, the
shadows cast by the careful studio lighting. All of these
aspects combine to make this much more than just a
portrait. It is, instead, the representation of a heroic
figure. |
