Giant Geyser, Y.N.P., No. 2090

A tour party congregates for a portrait upon the sinter terrace of Giant Geyser, a composition arranged for scale by the Nebraska firm of S. D. Butcher & Son. This stereoview is part of an extensive numbered series documenting Yellowstone National Park for an audience of early twentieth century tourists. Printed on unused real photo postcard stock, the image is evidence of the commercial enterprise of regional studios that catalogued and distributed iconic western landscapes for a national market.
