Artwork Description

In 1871 Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden (1829-1887) led the Hayden Geological Survey, the first federally-funded exploration of the Wyoming region that would be established as Yellowstone National Park in 1872. Among those on the Survey was William Henry Jackson (1843-1942), later recognized as one of the foremost artists and photographers of the American West. More than six decades after the Survey, Jackson—now in his early nineties—was called upon to create original works of art depicting the West as part of the interpretive displays for a museum slated to open in the U.S. Department of the Interior
