The Lower Falls of the Yellowstone, a drop of roughly 308 feet, is the detail that anchors this view, set where the river plunges into the canyon's rust- and gold-colored walls. Yellowstone was established as the first national park in 1872, and images like this one helped convince a skeptical public that its wonders were worth protecting. Its title, which spells "Cañon" with the Spanish tilde, reflects the nineteenth-century mix of naming styles used across the American West. Landscapes like this one were often reproduced in stereographic and card formats, which is why the "Wonderland" series label appears on the board.
