JACKSON, WILLIAM HENRY, 1843-1942. Photographs, 1869-75. 275 items. Collection 34

Official photographer for the U. S. Geological Survey of the Territories, under the direction of F. V. Hayden, Jackson was one of the earliest Americans to excell in landscape photography. A single volume of 260 photographs mounted on 100 sheets is entitled, “Photographs of the principle points of interest in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho and Montana, from negatives taken in 1869, '70, '71, '72, '73, '74 and '75 by W. H. Jackson, Photographer to the Survey, Washington, D. C., 1876.” There is also a presentation page with a letter signed by F. V. Hayden, July 24, 1876 accompanying the volume. The pictures are numbered and labeled, with letterpress descriptions. Seventeen labels written by Hayden to identify personnel are laid in.

The prints are in two sizes, 11 × 18 cm. or 22-1/2 × 17 cm. Another group of 14, 24-1/2 × 33 cm. on individual mounts portrays the Yellowstone region. These pictures were selected from a series of many hundreds and mounted by Hayden. A note in the volume states that the negatives are lost.

A descriptive catalog has been published as U. S. Geol. Survey of the Territories, Misc. publ. no. 5, 2d ed., 1877.
