Sketches in the Yellowstone Park of North America, 1883. 'Everywhere the rocks have eroded into quaint shapes...pine-trees, with all the appearance of having been but lately separated, fringe the sharp edges of the cañon...the Mammoth Hot Springs...lie upon the flanks of the White Mountain, and have gradually added to it a distinct spur, which, in the distance, shines amidst the neighbouring pine-woods like a breadth of white satin in a mantle of pile velvet. These springs are many hundreds in number. With the calcite their waters contain in solution, they have built for themselves semi-circular, cup-shaped fonts, that stand in rows and terraces in regular formation...The remaining Illustrations represent a mound - formed by chemical deposits left by the charged overflow of water from a spring - our camp fire, and the Teton mountains, sketched at daybreak from a ridge in the Yellowstone Park. The latter was a fine scene. Purple distances and hills of lapis-lazuli reached to the far-off horizon, where hung low- lying clouds...Miles and miles away to the south, keen-edged and transparent, loomed up the beacon towers of the Tetons'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
