F. Jay Haynes (1853-1921) was official photographer for the Northern Pacific Railroad and for Yellowstone National Park. His association with the park began in 1872 when he began a lease on a small photographic studio within the park. His photographs were widely published in articles, journals, books and turned into stereographs and postcards in the late 19th and early 20th century. Haynes' photo studio in the was recently re-opened for a brief period by the Yellowstone Park Foundation.
