William Henry Jackson was a pioneering photographer celebrated for his extensive documentation of the American West in the late 19th century. His work with the U.S. Geological Survey resulted in some of the earliest images of Yellowstone, which were instrumental in its designation as the first national park. Known for his large-format and meticulously detailed landscapes, Jackson’s photographs captured the natural beauty and grandeur of iconic sites such as the Grand Tetons and Mesa Verde, making a lasting contribution to the visual heritage of the United States. – Corners slightly bumped, some light scuff marks, otherwise a fine tonal print in very good condition.
