[Geysers] Anotehr 1872 image

[TSBryan at aol.com]

Below is another engraving from William Cullen Bryant's "Picturesque  
America..." Rather curious, is it not? It is titled The Geyser", but I believe  that 
it does NOT purport to show a Yellowstone geyser. To me it appears to be  
within a limestone cavern and, indeed, three of the four observers appear to be  
holding lanterns that illuminate "the geyser."
 
the questions: Might anybody have a copy of Bryant's book, and could thus  
better identify this image? Might anybody know of a cavern that contains a  
formation (at least sort of) like this?
