The International View Company which operated from the late 1890’s through 1910, issued high quality views on thick, curved mounts. They were made under the supervision of C. L. Wasson, the companies founder and chief operator. Their coverage was worldwide. It included views of hunting/fishing, genre, comics, the San Francisco Earthquake and many views of United States and world scenery. Their numbers reached to #20,000 and their total output was at least 8,000 different views. Most of their views were original, but some of the negatives were purchased. Among them from Alfred Campbell and William Henry Jackson. This company was also known as the International Stereograph Company and C. F. Beezley & Co.
The Yellowstone views come in several series and styles. It appears that images were released from 1900-1904. The earlier views by Int’l View Co. come in beige or gray mounts and all have numbers in the 400-500’s. The later issues were by the Int’l Stereograph Co. and have 5 digit numbers, and probably at least one boxed set (numbers in parenthesis). At least two dozen Yellowstone views were produced.

In 1899, Charles Lincoln (C.L.) Wasson moved to Decatur, Illinois and founded the International View Company. Wasson was a photographer and captured various subjects, including the Boer War in South Africa, the San Francisco Earthquake, the St. Louis World's Fair, and the inauguration of William McKinley. Likewise, the International View Co. produced a wide range of stereographs, including comedic, natural, cultural, travel, educational, and documentary images. The company produced originals that were taken by Wasson himself, but the company also hired photographers or purchased photographs to republish. The stereoscopic pictures presented in this edition were taken by A.S. Campbell. He was a photographer based out of New Jersey and sold his images to producers like International View Company.
