St. Paul, Minn: Haynes, Publisher, 1900. [4000 Series]. Photograph. Very Good +. Stereoview photograph on a tan Yellowstone Park Scenery mount [9 cm x 18 cm]. Title printed in black at bottom margin beneath right image. Light smudging and wear around the edges of the mount. Shows a close and centered image of the geyser erupting in front of the tall forest of pine nearby. Now dormant, this geyser earned the name 'economic' because the water it expelled upon eruption was mostly recollected back into its own vent.
Frank Jay Haynes (1853-1921) was the official photographer for the Northern Pacific Railway and, later, for Yellowstone National Park. Haynes travelled to Yellowstone in 1882 and captured many images of the emerging park. He opened his Log Cabin Studio the following year at Mammoth Hot Springs and continued to photograph the park for many years to come. Haynes' photography is inextricably linked to the public image of the famous national park.
