Painted for the 1904 edition of *Wonderland*, this cover shows a geyser plume rising above a stand of pine trees, a scene that stood in for the whole of Yellowstone in promotional material of the period. *Wonderland* was a travel guide issued by the Northern Pacific Railway, which carried tourists to the park's northern gateway at Gardiner, Montana. Yellowstone had been set aside as the first national park in 1872, and by the early 1900s railroad companies were among the chief promoters of visits to its geysers, hot springs and waterfalls. The cover's painted style is worth noticing, since it treats the geyser as both a natural wonder and an invitation to travel.
