This is an original albumen photograph silver gelatin of the Mammoth Yellowstone National Park stagecoach and National Hotel by F.J. Haynes, circa 1880’s. 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. This is a famous image and an original from the first negative; it is truly a wonderfully rare collectible.

YTC, James A. Clark, Cinnabar & Cooke Transportation Co., Livingston Enterprise ad, and Zack Root’s Express. This is truly an early example of Stagecoach in Yellowstone and is truly a rare find. Frame measures 13 3/8” by 15 3/8”; the visible art is 5” by 8.25”.
