[Detroit, Michigan] : Detroit Photographic Co., [1899]. Photograph shows four Ute children. Large original photochrome of "UTE GROUP OF CHILDREN," by the Detroit Photographic Company 1900 from a negative attributed to Denver photographer Charles Nast c.1885. Published by the celebrated Western photographer WILLIAM HENRY JACKSON, a principal in the Detroit Photographic Company. Civil War veteran WILLIAM HENRY JACKSON moved to the Nebraska Territory in 1866 and opened a photographic studio in Omaha. In 1869, Jackson began photographing the construction along the new Union Pacific Railroad. His work came to the attention of Ferdinand Hayden who was organizing a geologic survey to explore the Yellowstone region, and he was asked to accompany the expedition. For the next several years Jackson accompanied other geologic surveys of the west and southwest. In 1879 he opened a new studio in Denver and took hundreds of images of western scenes. The DETROIT PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPANY held the US rights to the "Photochrom" process, a proprietary photolithographic printing process developed in Switzerland that produced continuous-tone, full-color renditions from black and white negatives. William A. Livingstone gained ownership and rights to the Photochrome process in America in 1897. Livingstone invited Jackson to join his Detroit company as a partner. Jackson accepted the offer, bringing with him to Detroit an estimated 10,000 negatives of his work and that of other Western photographers which would provide the core of the company's photographic archive.
