A first-of-its-kind exhibition that focuses on the history of Yellowstone National Park posters will be on display at the University of Wyoming’s Coe Library beginning Tuesday,February 1.
“Wonderland Illustrated” will present posters and poster-style illustrations of the park spanning from the 1870s through 2022.The exhibition will be located on Level 3 of Coe Library.It will be on view through Tuesday,May 31.
The exhibition takes place at the same time as this year’s 150th anniversary of the creation of Yellowstone National Park.The posters in the exhibition serve the purpose of both advertising and art.
“We’re thrilled to be working with Yellowstone collectors Jack and Susan Davís,and Larry and Thea Lancaster to bring this exhibition to the University of Wyoming as part of year-long celebrations recognizing Yellowstone’s 150th anniversary,” says Tamsen Hert,head of UW Libraries’ Emmett D.Chisum Special Collections.“This exhibition involves the history of printing,art,photography and advertising over 16 decades.The images reproduced are found on travel brochures,postcards and maps—many of which are held in our collections.”
One poster from the exhibition—Henry Wellge’s “Yellowstone National Park” from 1904—was recently purchased with donated funds and is now part of UW Libraries’ Emmett D.Chisum Special Collections.Wellge,a productive bird’s-eye-view artist,designed the piece for the Northern Pacific Railroad,which used it to advertise the park.This is a unique piece,as posters such as this one were printed on soft paper and very few have survived.
