This images illustrates the photographer's use of combination printing with two wet collodion on glass negatives, the juncture being where the sea meets the sky. In her book, Janis describes 'The Great Wave' as ...a coherent picture with extraordinary physical power... and refers to it as a modern classic among the photographer's seascapes.
