Old Faithful and the Great Falls of the Yellowstone share a single postcard here, a pairing that reflects how early Yellowstone was marketed to visitors as a collection of must-see wonders. Yellowstone became the first national park in the United States in 1872, and by the early 1900s the railroads and hotel companies were promoting its geysers and waterfalls heavily. Old Faithful earned its name for the regularity of its eruptions, which made it a dependable stop on any tour. The 1906 date places the card in the years when picture postcards were at the height of their popularity as travel souvenirs.
