About this artwork

Text printed on reverse of stereocard:

“WANDERING WILLIE’S SPRING,” is a small rill of water trickling down from the roof and the wall of rock on the left hand side of the Main Cave beyond the “Rotunda” and “Methodist Church.” It is named after a country violinist who wandered away from his party, had his lamp extinguished and was found lying asleep beside the spring. On the left will be observed some names of visitors cut on the rock. The spring is about half a mile from the entrance.
