North America, American Photography, Grand Teton National Park, ca. 1910. Harrison R. Crandall was the first official photographer of Grand Teton National Park, most noted for his remarkable photography of the Jackson Hole valley and the Grand Teton mountain range. According to the National Park's website, "Crandall became the early park's greatest publicist; he was to the Teton Range and Jackson Hole what the Hayneses were to Yellowstone." Crandall spent the majority of his adult life living in the shadows of the glorious mountain range depicted in this photograph, fulfilling his childhood dream, a dream that originated when he first saw a photograph of the jagged Tetons by the infamous William H. Jackson. This is the largest known photograph that Crandall took of this site - an iconic image of the American West! 83"L x 37.5"W framed; frame is ~ 3" wide all around
