A swimming pool and Sentinel Dome share this view of Yosemite Valley, a pairing that shows how the valley appealed to early visitors. The granite dome rises on the valley's south side, close to the Merced River, where tourists bathed and camped. The Detroit Publishing Company sold scenes like this to travelers as souvenirs, and the caption tracings point to swimming, camping and tourism. The date is only approximate, somewhere between 1898 and 1914, a period when Yosemite drew steadily growing crowds.
