While capturing the grandeur of this broad expanse of lawn, Carleton Watkins carefully framed two sculptures within the surrounding trees. He did a good deal of business with newly wealthy residents of California, documenting both the interiors and exteriors of their estates, such as this one. These new millionaires frequently designed their properties after stately English homes, following the late 1800s fashion on the East Coast. Although the West Coast was geographically isolated from such urban centers as Boston and New York, it was not immune to their trends.
