Hayden Geological Survey photograph album
Visual Materials
A photographic album with 78 "Albertype" prints of photographs taken by William Henry Jackson in the American West during the Hayden Geological Surveys in 1871 and 1872. Photographs show landscapes of rivers, Yellowstone Lake, mountains, and hot springs, mostly in Yellowstone National Park, in what is now Wyoming. The last 20 plates are labeled "Hot Spring Series", and show springs, fissures, craters, and cones in the Yellowstone area. The images are Albertype or collotype prints (a photomechanical printing process) produced from Jackson's photographs by Edward Bierstadt.
