Frank Jay Haynes (1853-1921) made a tremendous record of Yellowstone Park in the 1880s returning often through the early 20th Century. Additionally, he operated successful portrait studios from the 1870s on. He served as the Official Photographer of the Northern Pacific Railroad, making an extensive documentation of their line including locations, equipment and territories around them. He also recorded the same for the Canadian Pacific Railroad. In 1884 he became the Official Photographer of Yellowstone National Park with a studio in Mammoth Hot Springs. During his long career he worked in or held studios in Ann Arbor, Michigan; Wisconsin; Moorehead, Minnesota; Yellowstone Park; and ultimately St. Paul in 1889. In the late 1880’s he operated his own photographic railroad car gallery called “Haynes Studio.” His photographs are featured in many publications about Yellowstone and other western locations including Canada and Alaska.
 
Katharine Gordon Breed was a noted “Colorist” of lantern slides and is credited in a handful of publications and lecture notes for her skills and promotion of artistic lantern slide coloring. This slide is hand signed by Breed which can be read through the back of the slide and reproduced here in reverse for clarification purposes since it appears backwards from the verso.
