William Henry Jackson (1843-1942) trained as an illustrator and painter before picking up the camera shortly after the Civil War. He worked as a bullwhacker before setting up his first photography studio in Omaha. By 1867 he was taking pictures of the local Pawnee Indians. In 1869 he was taking landscape views along the route of the Union Pacific Railroad. The scientist and Geologic Survey leader, F.V. Hayden, met Jackson at this time and hired him to be the official photographer of the Hayden Survey. Jackson's photographs of Yellowstone from the early 1870s aided in its becoming the nation's first National Park. In 1879, his work for the Hayden survey ended and he opened a studio in DenverDetroit Photographic Company. From his origins as an illustrator Jackson liked color and often hand painted his albumen prints in the 19th century. Jackson's photographic business in Denver was the most successful photographic enterprise in the West during the 1880s and 1890s. His next enterprise was the Detroit Photographic Company that made and distributed photographically generated color views printed like lithographs off stones the prints were called Photocroms. They also sold many hand-tinted gelatin silver and platinum prints. He purchased and licensed views by other photographers and published them under his name with the Hayden Survey, his Denver Studio and the Detroit Publishing Company. Here he is using an Adam Clark Vroman image.
