POSTCARD HSCYP       [last updated 05-04-2018]



I have three distinct views of Postcard HSCYP.

Differences to the front:
     Photo and title lettering a lighter gray on H2, brown on H 1
     H 3 has a white border with 'Haynes Photo ... Made in Germany' at right unlike H 1 & 2 with text at bottom left


Differences to the back:
     Lettering for POST CARD and address line in green on H 2, brown on H 1
     H 1 & 2 are undivided while H 3 is a divided back


Earliest Postmark:
     Haynes Type 1 - July 5, 1905
     Haynes Type 2 - June 29, 1905
     Haynes Type 3 - ?????? 22, 1909


Other remarks:
     I have two magic lantern slides (65 [Type 1] and 55), a lantern slide print (65 [Type 3]), a photo (4157), a book (Y-SP), and a sterling spoon of this view
     A magic lantern slide (65 [Type 2]) and stereoview (4596) are very similar to this view but look carefully at the feet and fishing pole positions
     Need to determine the publisher and if this postcard has a number
     One of the few views that shows the fish actually in the geyser water
     Look at magazine HW or book YNP-TWW for some unique artist's rendering of these two fishermen
