New Educational Series was a line of fair quality copy views of mostly United States scenery that proliferated during the 1890’s. Issued from Buffalo, New York, two different series titles were printed. One is the "Liberty Brand" and the other is the "American and Foreign Views" series. There does not seem to be any difference in the two, other than the series names. Their views have been the subject of some confusion, due to the prominently displayed "Sold by Canvassers" on many of the views. This tricks some into believing that Canvassers was the name of the company. In fact, this simply denotes that the views were only available through canvassing salesmen. Unfortunately over time many of these stereoviews have faded and the original titles are very hard to read.
Yellowstone is well represented by the New Educational Series. At over 70 different Yellowstone photos, there is no "copy view" company with more Yellowstone views. Almost without exception, the images were purchased from T. W. Ingersoll. However, at least two geyser scenes were originally photographed by F. J. Haynes. About half of the Yellowstone views are numbered (still showing their original photographers numbering), while the rest have titles only.
