FROM THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO’S CATALOG

Text printed on reverse of stereocard: "BANDIT HALL" Is immediately above "Bacon Chamber" and at the commencement of Spark's Avenue which leads to "Mammoth Dome." Several unexplored avenues branch off here in every direction. The scene representions a party of "bandits" at dinner and as reviewed by the magnesium light exceeds in Romantic wilderness the most extravagant conceptions of Salvator Rosa.
