J. E. Haynes: Yellowstone Photographer
While going through my grandmother’s collection of knitting and crochet books, I found this old photograph of Lower Falls in Yellowstone.
The information on the back made us very excited.
It is a hand painted photograph by J. E. Haynes, son of Frank Jay Haynes, the first official Yellowstone photographer. F. Jay Haynes actually named many of the Yellowstone sites and was instrumental in documenting Yellowstone. J. E. Haynes, followed in his footsteps.
My grandmother’s photograph is pretty faded, so I tried to spruce it up a bit.
Here is what the sight looks like today.
Lower Falls is located in the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.
