Few places in the country draw the eye like the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, where the river drops over a waterfall and cuts through colored rock walls. Here the view centers on the Great Fall, with Point Lookout offering a higher vantage over the gorge. Surveyors and early tourists in the 1870s and 1880s came to Yellowstone expecting wonders, and images like this helped define the park's reputation in print. Notice how the photographer uses the canyon's depth and the rim's edge to convey scale that words alone struggled to capture.
