At a sale at a private home in California several years ago, a man purchased a box of photographic negatives stored in envelopes (negatives are photographic images on film or glass from which actual photographs can be made). The negatives dated from the 1920s and showed landscape scenes of the western United States. While the negatives carried no indication of the name of the photographer who created them, some people have concluded that the negatives were in fact made by the landscape photographer Ansel Adams, one of the greatest American photographers of the twentieth century. Several arguments have been offered in support of this idea.
First, the negatives include images of landscape features that Ansel Adams is known to have photographed. One of the negatives shows a large pine tree leaning downward on a cliff. The same distinctively shaped tree appears in another photograph that, without a doubt, was taken by Adams in the 1920s.
Second, the envelopes holding the negatives are numbered and marked with handwritten place names. The handwriting on the envelopes seems to resemble the handwriting of Virginia Adams, Ansel Adams’ wife. Virginia Adams is known to have assisted her husband in his work, so those who believe that Ansel Adams created these negatives have concluded that she helped her husband organize these negatives by numbering them and recording the names of the places where the images were created.
Third, a number of the negatives have been damaged by fire, it is well known that Ansel Adams’ photography studio had a fire that destroyed or damaged nearly a third of his negatives. The fact that some of the negatives bought at the sale have fire damage is consistent with the idea that they once belonged to Ansel Adams.
Both the reading and lecture discuss whether photographic negatives dated from 1920s showed landscape scenes of Western United States created by photographer Ansel Adams.
The former argues that it is made by Ansel Adams and provided three reasons to support, but latter challenges each of these points.
First of all, the passage asserts that gigantic images of pine tree of negative is resemble to one of images of pine tree created by Ansel Adam.However, the professor in lecture objects t this idea because back in the 1920 pine tree was famous. He supports his argument by presenting the example of popular park, which contains enormous number of pine trees.Indeed, many visitors used to visit there and took the photograph of pine tree.
Secondly, according to the passage, the expert opined this idea the envelopes containing negatives were numbered and marked with the handwritten location site was similiar or same handwriting of Virginia Adams, who was wife of Ansel Adams. In contrast, the lecture contends that it is not true because in the envelopes there was incorrectly spell, but the father of Virginia Adams had art studio as he was artist, she used to help her father. It was impossible that she can spell, since was quite familiar with that tasks.
Finally, the text proclaims that,
