Provenance
With Fraenkel Gallery, San Francisco

Originally a studio photographer from the North Dakota Territory, Haynes spent most of his career documenting the development of the western territories. In 1876 he was commissioned to take pictures along the route of the Northern Pacific Railroad, working in a railroad car equipped as both gallery and darkroom. Besides photographing spectacular views of natural scenery such as lot 20, Haynes produced an extensive record of the modification of the landscape by the railroad and other industrial developments.
