  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?
