Along the left edge, vertically printed, is "Keystone View Company COPYRIGHTED Manufacturers MADE IN U. S. A. Publishers". The right edge, also printed vertically, lists business locations: "Meadville, Pa., New York, N. Y., Chicago, Ill., London, England.". Below the images, the caption reads "23087 Buffalo Herd, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming.". The back of the card, labeled "P72—(23087)", carries the title "BUFFALO HERD, YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, WYOMING". It includes an extensive educational text: "When your great-grandfather was a little boy there were no railroads across our country. People travelled in big covered wagons drawn by oxen. Often when they were travelling in their wagons across the western plains they were stopped by great herds of buffaloes, such as you see in the picture. When the buffaloes swam across the river, steamboats had to stop and wait until they had passed. There were no towns or cities on the western plains then, and the buffaloes roamed all over, feeding where the grass was best. The Indians killed the buffaloes for hides and also for food. The first settlers also killed buffaloes for meat and for skins to use as robes. Buffaloes were killed off so fast that they were almost entirely destroyed. To keep them from becoming extinct the United States Government took those that were left and kept them in the Yellowstone National Park. No one is allowed to shoot them." The bottom right of the back states "Copyright by The Keystone View Company". A faint handwritten mark, "4-", is visible in the top right corner of the back, but there is no personal handwritten message present on this stereoview card. The stereoview depicts a large herd of American bison, commonly known as buffalo, grazing on a grassy plain. The terrain is gently rolling, with scattered low shrubs and what appear to be sparse trees on distant hillsides under a vast sky. The animals are shown in various postures, some grazing, others standing, conveying a sense of their natural habitat. The scene captures the essence of wildlife in the American West, highlighting the efforts to preserve these iconic animals within Yellowstone National Park. This stereoview, published by the Keystone View Company, serves an educational purpose, providing historical context about the near-extinction of the buffalo due to hunting and the subsequent establishment of conservation efforts, particularly within Yellowstone National Park. The reference to "your great-grandfather" suggests the card was produced for a generation learning about the late 19th and early 20th-century history of the American West and its wildlife.
