About This Item
Minneapolis: Bloom Bros. Co., [ca. 1920]. First edition. Oblong quarto (8 x 10 1/2 inches). [62] pp. 30 full page color photographic illustrations of scenes in Yellowstone, all by Curtis and all with explanatory text within a light green floral border on the opposing versos. Publisher's string-tied olive wrappers, cover with laid down color illustration and black and gilt lettering. Bit of toning to front but, overall, a very attractive and very clean copy.Asahel Curtis, brother of Edward S. Curtis, opened a photography studio in Seattle in 1911 and employed a number of developers and colorists. He was hired by a number of local companies, organizations, and wealthy individuals to take portraits and promotional photos. In this instance, he was hired by the Northern Pacific Railway Company. It is unusual to find a Yellowstone promotional pamphlet illustrated by anyone other than Haynes.
