Pulpit Terrace is one of the stepped formations at Mammoth Hot Springs in the northern part of Yellowstone, where hot water rising through layers of limestone deposits calcium carbonate as travertine. Those deposits build up quickly, so the terraces change shape over the years, and this card captures one stage of that ongoing construction. Yellowstone had been set aside as the first national park in 1872, and by the 1910s its geysers and terraces drew tourists by rail and stagecoach. Stereograph cards like this one, with their paired images viewed through a hand lens, were a common way for those visitors and armchair travelers to see such sights.
