Featured in this lot is an early Frank Haynes, framed photograph print of Old Faithful. Frank Jay Haynes, known as F. Jay, was a professional photographer, publisher, and entrepreneur from Minnesota who played a major role in documenting, through photographs, the settlement and early history of the great Northwest. Frank Jay Haynes first photographed Yellowstone National Park in 1881 and created a family dynasty that would span eighty plus years. This photograph captured the natural beauty of Old Faithful Geyser in Yellowstone National Park mid eruption. The piece is marked in the bottom left-hand corner, reading "Haynes Old Faithful Geyser". The print is set into a white, wood frame and shows good condition overall, with some wear across the frame. The frame measures 8 1/4" wide by 11 1/4" tall with the art measuring 6" wide by 9" tall.
