About This Item
[San Francisco]: [Dassonville Studio], 1906. Original Gum Bichromate print of this Queen of the Missions. 11 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches. Signed by Dassonville on the lower right margin. Matted and with mylared window. A wonderful image. William Edward Dassonville (1879-1957) was a California photographer primarily known for his Pictorialist landscapes. He was an associate of Ansel Adams and worked with William Keith, George Sterling, Maynard Dixon, and John Muir. Born in Sacramento, CA, he acted as secretary of the California Camera Club and contributed to Camera Craft. He also invented a velvety surfaced printing paper that he later manufactured commercially and very successful.Founded by Father Junipero Serra at the present site in 1771, San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo is the second of nine missions that he would eventually establish in California. It must have been his favorite as well as he made this mission his headquarters. He is buried under the sanctuary floor at the Carmel Mission.
