One hundred years ago San Francisco photographer William E. Dassonville gained national and international acclaim as a fine portraitist and interpreter of the California landscape. His photographs hung in important exhibitions alongside the work of the masters of the Photo-Secession and the Arts and Crafts movement.
Between 1900 and 1915 many of America’s prominent citizens, such as John Muir, William Keith and Maynard Dixon, flocked to Dassonvilles studio. Simultaneously, he crisscrossed California’s landscape to capture views of its dramatic coast and rolling hills as well as Yosemite Valley and the High Sierra. He produced exquisite photographic prints in the platinum and gum bichromate processes. In the early 1920s, Dassonville shifted his attention to San Francisco’s waterfront and bay, skyline, skyscrapers and industrial towers, continuing to create superbly crafted photographs with his Charcoal Black silver paper.
