Rather than a view of geysers or canyons, this piece is a floral spray of wildflowers printed in chromolithography on cream paper. The process built color from several successive stone or metal plates, and it flourished in the late 1800s, producing inexpensive, vividly colored pieces such as trade cards, calendars, and decorative scraps. Its filing under Yellowstone points to the park's plant life as a subject, though the record does not say how the piece was used. Look closely at the layered inks and the soft shading of the petals to see the care that went into small printed works like this one.
