Biographical / Historical:
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, where he published his series of "Colored Cabinets of Noted Indians," among many other subjects. His photographs were widely published in articles, journals, books and turned into stereographs, and postcards in the late 19th and early 20th century.
