Grand canyon of the Yellowstone, page, photomechanical print, photographer: Frank Jay Haynes, Yellowstone National Park, cliché maker: The Photo-gravure Co., New York (city), c. 1886 - in or before 1891, North America, paper, collotype, photoprint, height 165 mm x width 215 mm, ravine, chasm, abyss, canyon, Grand Canyon (Yellowstone National Park), A wide grayscale photograph of a steep rocky canyon with rugged cliffs on both sides and a river winding through the canyon floor. The cliff faces show layered rock formations and scattered trees clinging to slopes and ledges, with denser stands of taller trees near the upper edges. The river appears lighter in tone against the darker canyon walls and flows from the distant background toward the foreground, with visible rapids and curving channels. The slopes beside the river vary from steep rocky ridges to smoother talus-covered areas dotted with small trees and shrubs. The upper background fades into a hazy sky above the distant ridgelines.
