About This Item
[N.p., likely Wyoming, 1880. About very good.. Albumen photograph, 22 x 18 inches. Mat ghosting to edges, verso toned from previous matting and framing. Framed. A gorgeous large-format photograph commonly called the Great Falls of the Yellowstone or Lower Falls of the Yellowstone. The image was likely taken by William Henry Jackson, as it bears the most resemblance to his photograph of the same name taken while part of Hayden's 1871 U.S. Geological Survey of the Territories for the Department of the Interior. The present image is taken slightly closer to the Falls than Jackson's most common image, but bears the hallmarks of Jackson's image much more closely than Jay Haynes's similar images taken from about the same vantage point. The image captures the waterfalls of the Yellowstone River flowing into a canyon inside Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. A wonderful display piece featuring one of the most famous scenes at Yellowstone.
