[Geysers] 1885 painting

[Karen Webb]

I think the replies about Splendid are right, but my first impression 
was that it was Giant with some artistic license taken in putting the 
cone and the water column in separate parts of the painting. Would this 
make the little bitty sput to the left one of those little bubblers 
between Splendid and the Daisy side of the current walk? The one the 
park visitors are about to step in? Yes, I'm enjoying these as well, 
both seeing an artist's conceptions of the park in its early days and 
seeing the OMG-what-are-you-doing? views of where early visitors parked 
their bodies while things erupted around them. Winter geyseritis is 
setting in...
