Visual Materials
A collection of over 200 photographs of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, chiefly of natural scenery such as geysers, hot springs, and waterfalls, as well as images of the earliest hotels built in the park. The mounted prints are 6 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches and were taken by photographer F. Jay Haynes in the 1880s, when he operated as an official photographer in the park. One image shows his studio with a sign reading "Haynes Park Views" and there are exterior and interior views of his traveling railroad car photography studio. Other subjects are: tourists camping and riding in stagecoaches; a group posed by the Yellowstone River; a sternwheeler ferry on the lake; and a portrait of Shoshone chief Washakie and other Shoshone Indians at Fort Washakie, Wyoming Territory. In 1887, Haynes joined an expedition with explorer Frederick Schwatka and took some of the earliest photographs of Yellowstone in winter. Scenes include the expedition party on skis in front of Norris Hotel, and Schwatka at Obsidian Cliff. There are a few views of two other locations: harbor scenes in Portland, Oregon, and mills and logging activity in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
