The Yellowstone Park, North America, 1883. '1. Teton Mountains. 2. Grand Falls (367 ft.) in the Yellowstone Cañon. 3. Mound formed by Deposits from Fountain. 4. Camp Fire. 5. Mammoth Hot Springs...the 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...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, and present the appearance of having been hewn and polished in exquisite marble...the glistening white and ivory is stained with combinations of brilliant and delicate tints, such as only the laboratory of nature can produce. Each pool is a mirror; in its pure depths the fleecy clouds reflected sail slowly by,...and the beholder himself, as he gazes therein, is photographed with a vivid clearness that is at first sight startling...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'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
