1910 Through Wonderland Yellowstone National Park Guidebook Northern Pacific RR:
$40.00
\"Through Wonderland: Yellowstone National Park\", a brochure from the Northern Pacific Railroad, copyright 1910.
Based on research, the Northern Pacific Railroad offered this brochure to people mailing in 6 cents worth of stamps. The Northern Pacific was the only railroad servicing the official, Gardiner Gateway to Yellowstone National Park. The lithographed brochure is 74 pages, including the covers. Included in the pages are a description of the park and its history, which is presented in a light silver text, presented in blocks on each page, with unique drawn borders on each page. Interspersed are some smaller sepia-toned photos and some full color images, including the Lower Falls, Old Faithful, Mammoth Hot Springs terraces and hotel, a stage coach for tours, the Colonial Hotel, bears, deer, and more. There is also a two page color illustrated map in the center of the brochure. The last two pages include railroad contacts at different cities throughout the country and a Northern Pacific route map. The colors of the old lithography remain vivid and at times stunning. Interestingly, one leaf - pages 57 and 58 -- has been tipped in, likely being replaced to remove a printing error during the printing process. You can see the quarter inch of the former page that the new page is glued to. These advertising pieces must have been quite expensive for their time, and this one has survived 114 years quite well.
Photos are of the actual booklet on offer. See the photos for additional insight into content and condition of this Yellowstone brochure from over 100 years ago.
