The title's nickname, "Wonderland," was a common way to describe Yellowstone after Congress set the area aside as the first national park in 1872, and "A Grand Tour" suggests the image was meant to present the trip as a journey through several sights. Visitors reached the park by rail to gateway towns, then traveled by stagecoach or horse-drawn coach over rough roads, so the buildings, vehicles and bridges of that era were part of the experience. Promotional images like this one were designed to persuade travelers that the effort was worthwhile, and they show how the park was presented to the public in its early tourist years.
