Shoshone Lake from Craig Pass, Yellowstone N.P. - July, 1919
Caption on slide: "Shoshone Lake from continental divide."
Mrs. Spallholz is sitting in the passenger seat of the Haynes. Out of the frame, Walter and Ernie explore while Mr. Spallholz takes the photo. The view is to the south over Shoshone Lake. The Grand Tetons, 50 miles away, are barely visible as an extremely faint smudge on the horizon at the left.
This image is from a scan of the original 3.25" x 4" glass lantern slide, part of a collection of photographs taken by Henry A. Spallholz, and his wife Lizzie, in the summer of 1919. He was the manager of the Manhattan Shirt Company in Salem, NY at the time, and took his family on a drive to the west coast and back in a Haynes automobile, possibly a Haynes “Light Six". He was careful to label each image, something every photographer should do. All the photos of the trip were taken with two cameras, a Kodak 3A Autographic and a 3A Graflex. They both used the same "post card" sized 3A film ( 3 1/4" x 5 1/2"). Each camera appears in a few of his trip images.
