William Henry Jackson photochrom collection
Collection Overview
This collection of 100 chromolithographs includes a representative selection of scenes taken throughout the United States, Canada and elsewhere. The great majority of the images are of landscapes made in Colorado, Montana, and New York State, particularly in Yellowstone National Park and in the Adirondack region. Some images are architectural, including several images of the interior of the Library of Congress and one of the Miles Brewton House ("Pringle House" 27 King Street, Charleston, South Carolina).
All images are approximately 8x10 inches and were created through what Jackson described as a "photo-lithographic process for reproducing pictures in color."
