This promotional page from the Northern Pacific Railway's ticket offices uses photographs to sell rail travel to Yellowstone, which the railroad marketed as a wonderland of geysers, canyons, and waterfalls. Northern Pacific was one of the main routes into the park in the late 1800s, and its literature helped turn a remote national reserve into a destination for ordinary tourists. Pages like this were meant to be handed out or displayed at agencies in towns and cities, so they show how the railroad packaged scenery as a reason to buy a ticket. The record does not name the photographers, so the images are best read as period advertising rather than as documentary records of specific visits.
