Update: 2022 Jun 01<\/strong> : Added stereoviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a series of prints and photographs showing bridges in the Upper Geyser Basin that no longer exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First are a couple of series of lithographs. The Haynes \"Souvenirs of Yellowstone\" and W.C.Riley's \"The World's Wonderland\" are similar and different. Both contain many of the same pictures, some of which are still commonly recognizable. Other pictures are unique to that particular publication. Both are fanfolded-- a long strip folded to look like pages, but the Riley is in \"landscape\" format, wider than it is high, which the Haynes is in \"portrait\". The Riley was published in 1889, while the Haynes is undated, but was from Fargo, D.T.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stereoviews document the wide variety of bridges in the Upper Basin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a bonus, here's a couple more images from \"Souvenir\", showing how different some features were back then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
