St. Paul, Minn: Haynes, Publisher, 1900. [4000 Series]. Photograph. Near Fine. Stereoview photograph on a tan Yellowstone Park Scenery mount [9 cm x 18 cm]. Title printed in black at bottom margin beneath right image. Very light soiling/smudging at the left and right margin of the mount. A lovely view at about ground level looking directly up the Yellowstone River, framed by the tall and dense forest. The long exposure of this photograph shows the swift pace of the river and its rapids.

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.
