After considerable pondering, I concluded that I obtained the photo by scanning from a book in the West Yellowstone library. But here is the interesting point. Mary BEth Schwarz sent a link to an Ebay ad (a guy in England) who is selling an engraving that he says was done by a _Frenchman_ named E. Riou in 1874. I say, 1874. I again attach a copy (really samll and low-res) -- the similarity to the "Gibson is remarkable but close examination shows the latter to be slightly different and, so, a copy. So I encounter anouther curiosity.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV></BODY></HTML>
