F. Jay Haynes was a photographer who traveled extensively in the West
and who was best known for his early photographs of Yellowstone National Park.
He was also the official photographer for the Northern Pacific Railroad, and
for a time he even maintained a special railroad car equipped as a mobile
photography studio which was called the "Haynes Palace Studio." He opened his
first studio in 1876 in Moorhead, Minnesota, and in 1879 opened a larger studio
in Fargo, North Dakota. In 1889 he began operating out of St. Paul, Minnesota.
In the period just before the Yukon gold rush, when tourist travel to Alaska
was increasing, Haynes traveled to Alaska in 1891. The trip was a financial
success as Haynes was able to tap into the high demand for stereoscopic prints
and other photographs, although the most valuable photographs were those he
took of glaciers.
Photographs of the landscape in Yellowstone National Park, Southeast
Alaska, and the North Cascades, and views of cities and towns in
Washington.
