After traveling extensively and attempting to make a living by making photographs, William Henry Jackson combined his artistic skill in the fledgling art of photography with his spirit for adventure when he began photographing for the U. S. Geological Survey in 1870. In the United States, one area that Jackson returned to time and time again was Yellowstone. In fact, Jackson's photographs played a large part in influencing Congress to create Yellowstone National Park in 1872. But the camera's inability to capture the astonishing colors of the area frustrated Jackson, who fell back on painting techniques and other manipulations to achieve the desired effects.The development in Switzerland of the Photochrom process for continuous-tone, full-color renditions from of black and white negatives changed all that. The process was licensed in America to the Detroit Photographic Company, which Jackson joined as a partner in 1897 and to which he sold the bulk of his enormous archive of negatives. The color produced by the Photochrome process was astonishingly naturalistic, and it was to this process that Jackson devoted his final years of active photography. The Detroit Photographic Company is first noted in city registers of Detroit in 1888. They supplied photographs for all purposes - especially for use in books, magazines, and advertising specialties such as calendars and blotters. Many of the prints were of large framing size or suitable for long advertising hangers in the custom of the day. We will insure at no cost to you.
