Description: 14 albumen prints mounted on 3 album leaves (both sides). Most photographs captioned in negative. 11 attributed to William Henry Jackson. Sizes vary. Album leaves measure 41.7x29.9 cm (16½x11¾").William Henry Jackson (1843-1942) was in the early stages of his very long career as a photographer when he joined Ferdinand V. Hayden of the U.S. Geological Survey on an expedition to investigate the marvels of what is now the Yellowstone National Park. Jackson took hundreds of photographs of the towering mountains, the breathtaking canyons, the bubbling hot springs, and the steamy geysers, as well as the surrounding country, towns and forts on the way to the Yellowstone, creating glass plate negatives using the painstaking wet-collodion process, his studio borne by a mule.
