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.
