This is an original albumen photograph large format boudoir card by Frank Jay Haynes of the Mammoth Yellowstone National Park Stagecoach in front of the Yellowstone National Hotel circa 1880’s. Frank Jay Haynes, known as F.J. Haynes, F. Jay Haynes or the Professor to almost all who knew him, 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. This photo shows the Mammoth Stagecoach packed full with visitors as they look towards the photographer. It is drawn by six horses. Behind them sits the large and iconic Yellowstone National Hotel. The photo is marked on the back reading, "F. Jay Haynes Official Photographer N.P.R.R. 392 Jackson St., St. Paul, Minn. / Send For Catalogue of Views / Northern Pacific, Yellowstone Park, Pacific Coast And Alaska / F.J. Haynes Photographer Yellowstone Park". The Old Yellowstone Mammoth Hotel, originally called the National Hotel from 1883-1904 and later named the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel & Cabins from 1977-Present, is shown in the background in its rarely seen original form with a six-horse teamed stagecoach at the front, bearing the Yellowstone National Park hand painted name across the lower side, as seen in the photograph. The stagecoach is overloaded with tourists, as it is about to begin its journey through the park site seeing. Original F.J. Haynes Fargo, DT (Dakota Territory) examples, such as this, are exceedingly rare, with this being a truly fine example with nice clarity in an original hand carved wood and gilt frame.

YTC, James A. Clark, Cinnabar & Cooke Transportation Co., Livingston Enterprise ad, and Zack Root’s Express.
