This hand-colored image shows the monumental lobby of the Old Faithful Inn. The fireplace is 85 feet tall and weighs 500 tons. The object at the top is a clock, and the lobby is surrounded by multiple levels of galleries.

The description states:
Old Faithful Inn Lobby was photographed by artificial light. Notice the huge clock and fireplace, and the crowd of sightseers.
–Also visible in the lower right are band members at their instruments. Presumably music was provided both for background and for evening dancing. This card likely dates from the 1940s.

This image shows the pathway leading to the Old Faithful Inn, at the left, along with a later expansion in the right center. The original building was constructed in 1904 and was recently renovated to return it to much of its original design.

The description states:
OLD FAITHFUL INN, UPPER GEYSER BASIN
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK
IS ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS OF THE PARK HOTELS. ITS LOBBY, MASSIVE FIREPLACE AND CLOCK, SURROUNDED BY A MAZE OF BALCONIES TRIMMED WITH GNARLED TREE TRUNKS, AND LIKE THE CANYON LOUNGE HOTEL, THIS ONE WAS DESIGNED BY ROBERT C. REAMER.
–The Canyon Hotel mentioned at the end is not the one seen on the right of the picture. That hotel was slated for demolition in 1960, and before demolition proceeded very far, it burned to the ground on August 8, 1960. This card likely dates to the 1950s.

This geyser has a long standing rhythm of eruptions that can be timed and viewed on schedule.

The description states:
THE CELEBRATED OLD FAITHFUL GEYSER NAMED FOR ITS REGULARITY OF ERUPTION INTERVALS IN 1870 BY GENERAL HENRY D. WASHBURN
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK
— The intervals have become more regular and predictable over the decades, and now occur at two very distinct intervals based on the length of the previous eruption. This card likely dates from the 1950s.

This is an image of the hills of Wyoming from the highest point on the Lincoln Highway in Wyoming, once known as US 30. The highway was upgraded in the mid-20th century to Interstate Highway status, and is now part of I-80.

The description states:
The summit of the Rockies, over which passes Trans-continental railroad and highway, and air lines.
–It’s not clear why airlines are mentioned in this description, as the landmark is relatively unimportant to planes tens of thousands of feet above. This image was a black and white photo which was colored manually for sale. It likely dates from the 1940s.

This image shows the traditional cattle branding process as practiced for more than a century in the United States. This appears to be just a demonstration as there is no red coloring on the iron nor is there smoke rising from the burnt hair and skin.

There is no description on the back of the card. The Bunkhouse may refer to one of several existing establishments, including a restaurant by this name in Rawlins. The card likely dates to the 1950s.

Just off the University Campus is this UW themed restaurant, the Brown and Gold, named after the official colors of the University. It is decorated in those colors as well as being named such.
The description states:
Dining area of the beautiful new
“THE BROWN ‘N GOLD”
This is a two-level structure featuring fine foods on the upper level and variety store down under with literally everything from “soup to nuts to souvenirs.” Adjacent to beautiful University of Wyoming campus. Hwy 30-Interstate 80, Laramie, Wyoming.
NO FINER FOOD ANYWHERE
–This restaurant apparently does not exist any more. The postcard likely dates from the 1950s.

This image shows the traditional symbolic flowerbed with the University of Wyoming initials, seen from a park across the street from the rear of the Student Health Center, in the background.

The description states:
Marigolds in beds shaped as UW accent the University of Wyoming campus in the school’s traditional colors, brown and gold.
— The building and flowerbeds are still present. The building also now houses the Cheney International Center, named after Dick Cheney, the former U.S. Vice President. This image likely dates from the 1950s.

This is a view of the Wyoming Union building, a common campus location at many universities. The typical student union usually offers various eating and recreational activities, and sometimes contains conference rooms, performance venues and offices for student organizations.

The description states:
937 — WYOMING UNION BUILDING
UNIVERISTY OF WYOMING
LARMIE, WYOMING
This is the Student Union Building housing the student refreshment and relaxation activities.
— This image likely dates from the 1950s.

This is a color image of the same building shown previously, the Liberal Arts building, now called the Arts and Sciences Building, on the Laramie Campus of the University of Wyoming.

The description states:
This is one of the most imposing of several new buildings added to the University within recent years. The campus occupies several blocks on the eastern edge of Laramie and with its many fine buildings set among beautiful shrubbery, trees and lawns offers many delightful scenes.
–Comparing this image to the previous one shows the trees have grown considerably in the time between photos. This image was also hand colored from a black and white original. It likely dates from the 1940s
