Fire Hole Pool, Y.N.P., No. 2064

Solomon D. Butcher, primarily known for his definitive chronicles of the Nebraska frontier, also turned his lens to Yellowstone in the early twentieth century. This composition of Firehole Pool dates from his later work with his son, representing an expansion into new commercial subjects for a national audience. Presented on a stereoview postcard, the object unites the immersive depth of the stereograph with the accessible, mailable format of a popular travel souvenir.
