[Collection of Twenty-two Vernacular Real Photo Postcards of Yellowstone National Park]

[Yellowstone]: 1911. Twenty-two real-photo postcards, each annotated and dated. Minor wear and soiling. Very good. Item #898

A nice group of souvenir photographs taken on a trip to Yellowstone in August 1911, printed as real photo postcards. The group opens on August 6th with a photograph captioned "Official Entrance Arch, Dedicated by Roosevelt 1903. Gardiner, Wyoming." The tour then progresses through the park over the next two weeks, visiting Old Faithful and other geysers, Eagles Nest, the Upper Geyser Basin, Keppler's Cascades, the Upper Falls, Yellowstone Lake, and more. Each photograph is captioned and dated, though the postcards have not been used. Images are generally clear and with good contrast, occasionally featuring spectators or other elements beyond the scenery. They are captioned as follows:
