Description
JACKSON, William Henry (1843-1942).
Cimarron Canyon, New Mexico. S.l., ca. 1880.
Albumen Photograph.
16 3/4" x 21 1/4" sheet, 22" x 28" card.
Vignetted albumen photograph print signed and titled in the lower right corner of the wet glass plate negative and mounted on grey card; minor spotting in the upper left corner of the image.
SCARCE AND EVOCATIVE IMAGES BY ONE OF THE FOREMOST PHOTOGRAPHERS OF THE AMERICAN WEST.
The view shows railroad tracks bifurcating the canyon's escarpments. After a tour of duty in the Civil War, Jackson headed West and eventually settled in Omaha, Nebraska, where he opened a portrait studio. However, Jackson conceded that: "Portrait photography never had any charms for me so I sought my subject from the house-tops, and finally from the hill-tops and about the surrounding country; the taste strengthening as my successes became greater in proportion to the failures" (http://www.getty.edu/art/collection/artists/1853/william-henry- jackson-american-1843-1942/). We have been able to trace only two copies of the print at auction: Heritage Auctions, Dallas (2018) and Swann Galleries (2003).
