[Geysers] historic photographs

Here is a link to an interesting site I found recently:

The following is a historic photograph of Spike Geyser at Heart Lake.  It is 
mislabeled as "Pearl Geyser" in the index and seems also to be 
mislabeled on the original plate.

Here is an old photograph of Union Geyser.  Note the heavy beading on 
the central cone, the wet formation, and the stick jammed into the 
smallest cone.  Damn vandals were at it already in the 1870's.

And two of Rustic Geyser.  Note the appearance of  the crater of 
"Composite Geyser" in the background of the second photograph; the 
crater looks partly empty.

I have had a bit of fun looking things up on this site.  There are quite a few 
other geyser photographs, including one of Vent Geyser (?) mislabeled as 
Sawmill.  The nice thing is that they have a lot of photographs here that 
don't usually make it into the standard Yellowstone history texts.
