    Frank Jay Haynes (1853-1921) Mammoth Plate Photo

    Est: $6,000 - $9,000

    This is an incredibly rare and important mammoth plate albumen photograph No. 3149 Golden Gate by Frank Jay Haynes (1853-1921) circa early 1880’s from an ex-museum Eastern Montana collection. The image shows the original golden sepia coloring, and this is a scarce mammoth plate albumen photograph, the largest such photograph taken and offered by the historic F.J. Haynes. Marked in the image on the left, “3149 GOLDEN GATE” and on the right, “F. JAY HAYNES, FARGO, D. T.” The visible photography area measures 21.5-inches by 16.5-inches. Frank Jay Haynes (October 28, 1853 – March 10, 1921), also known as F. Jay Haynes, F.J. Haynes or the Professor to those that knew him, was a prolific photographer, publisher, and entrepreneur from Minnesota who played a major role in photographing the early Northwest. Haynes became the official photographer for both the Northern Pacific Railway and Yellowstone National Park, and for a time operated a special railroad car equipped as a mobile photography studio, which he called "Haynes Palace Studio." He is one of the most prolific photographers of both Yellowstone Park and Montana during the 19th and 20th centuries. The photograph shows the historic image of Golden Gate Canyon located at the North Entrance of Yellowstone National Park just south of Gardner, Montana Territory. The image shows what appears to be the original wooden bridge at Golden Gate Canyon. The photograph has strong tones, rich golden sepia coloring, clear image with fine detail, no visible damages to the image. Frame is shows some wear from age, but display very well. The piece is in the original 19th-century matting and solid oak framing from Haynes. The frame shows solid oak with a wonderful carved and incised design as well as a golden gilt inside border and backed in wood. Provenance: From an ex-museum collection out of Eastern Montana. This is believed to be one of the only mammoth plate original coloring examples of No. 3149 that is available or has been offered on the public market. Visible photograph measures 21 ½-inches by 16 ½-inches and the frame is 32 ¾-inches by 28-inches. For examples of scarcely seen mammoth plate albumen photographs by F.

    Frank Jay Haynes (1853-1921) Mammoth Plate Photo

    Est: $6,000 - $9,000

    This is an incredibly rare and important mammoth plate albumen photograph No. 3149 Golden Gate by Frank Jay Haynes (1853-1921) circa early 1880’s from an ex-museum Eastern Montana collection. The image shows the original golden sepia coloring, and this is a scarce mammoth plate albumen photograph, the largest such photograph taken and offered by the historic F.J. Haynes. Marked in the image on the left, “3149 GOLDEN GATE” and on the right, “F. JAY HAYNES, FARGO, D. T.” The visible photography area measures 21.5-inches by 16.5-inches. Frank Jay Haynes (October 28, 1853 – March 10, 1921), also known as F. Jay Haynes, F.J. Haynes or the Professor to those that knew him, was a prolific photographer, publisher, and entrepreneur from Minnesota who played a major role in photographing the early Northwest. Haynes became the official photographer for both the Northern Pacific Railway and Yellowstone National Park, and for a time operated a special railroad car equipped as a mobile photography studio, which he called "Haynes Palace Studio." He is one of the most prolific photographers of both Yellowstone Park and Montana during the 19th and 20th centuries. The photograph shows the historic image of Golden Gate Canyon located at the North Entrance of Yellowstone National Park just south of Gardner, Montana Territory. The image shows what appears to be the original wooden bridge at Golden Gate Canyon. The photograph has strong tones, rich golden sepia coloring, clear image with fine detail, no visible damages to the image. Frame is shows some wear from age, but display very well. The piece is in the original 19th-century matting and solid oak framing from Haynes. The frame shows solid oak with a wonderful carved and incised design as well as a golden gilt inside border and backed in wood. Provenance: From an ex-museum collection out of Eastern Montana. This is believed to be one of the only mammoth plate original coloring examples of No. 3149 that is available or has been offered on the public market. Visible photograph measures 21 ½-inches by 16 ½-inches and the frame is 32 ¾-inches by 28-inches. For examples of scarcely seen mammoth plate albumen photographs by F.

    Heading: Author: Haynes, F. Jay Title: Portland Oregon Place Published: Fargo, Dakota Territory Publisher:F. Jay Haynes Date Published: c.1890's Description: Mammoth plate albumen print hinged to board and mounted at lower corners with mounting tape. 42.1x54.8 cm (16½x21½"); matted: 66.1x76.4 cm (26x30¼"). "F. Jay Haynes is distinguished from many of his contemporaries by his willingness, even impatience, to travel extensively in search of photo views. More than most, he received the opportunity to travel extensively. In 1876, Haynes fulfilled his first commission for the Northern Pacific Railroad Company. For the N.P., and himself over the next thirty years, he crisscrossed the West – from Duluth to Tacoma, from Fort Washakie to Juneau, from Rat Portage to the Great Falls of the Missouri, and from any point to Yellowstone National Park. / By 1879, when the Northern Pacific began its push to close the first northern mainline, Haynes already was the company's authorized photographer. He thereafter documented developments in the West, while providing appropriate photos for the N.P.'s widely disseminated promotional literature." - F. Jay Haynes: Photographer, p. 49.

    Frank Jay Haynes Original Yellowstone Park Camera

    Est: $10,000 - $15,000

    This is the original circa early 1900’s Frank Jay Haynes owned and marked Yellowstone National Park large format camera and tripod from Haynes Yellowstone Park Studio in Montana. Both the camera and the tripod bear the original F.J. Haynes brass tags, correctly found on his cameras. The tags are marked, “Haynes Equipment Corporation Rapid Photographic Apparatus 341-5 Selby Avenue, St. Paul, Minnesota.”The lot includes the original late-19th century Haynes Studio marked tripod and circa early 1900’s Haynes Studio marked camera, which appears to be a Conley large format with long bellows. Frank Jay Haynes (October 28, 1853 – March 10, 1921), also known as F. Jay Haynes, F.J. Haynes or the Professor to those that knew him, was a prolific photographer, publisher, and entrepreneur from Minnesota who played a major role in photographing the early Northwest. Haynes became the official photographer for both the Northern Pacific Railway and Yellowstone National Park, and for a time operated a special railroad car equipped as a mobile photography studio, which he called "Haynes Palace Studio." He is one of the most prolific photographers of both Yellowstone Park and Montana during the 19th and 20th centuries. Provenance: Ex-Frank Jay Haynes Yellowstone National Park Studio in Montana; after F.J. Haynes death in March 1921, the camera along with other Haynes Studio items were sold to a private collector in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, the items sat dormant in storage for three decades; sold in 2023 for $10,000 (shown w/ bp). The Conley Camera Company was founded in 1899 by brothers Kerry and Frederick Conley in Spring Valley, Minnesota. They become famous as a true competitor to Kodak in the early 1900’s and made only dry-plate cameras. Through fierce competition and their large customer Sears acquiring Seneca Camera Co. In 1924, eventually drove Conley to ceased camera production in 1927. This camera from circa 1900-1912 is likely a variation model of the Model No. 1 Conley View Camera, Model BS Conley View Camera or Model B.W. View Camera and shows a Conley Safety early shutter, long or long-draw bellows, cherry or mahogany case in an 8x10 large format. The camera is well kept with a well preserved beautiful cherry or mahogany case, with nice bellows and the original Conley rail. The tripod appears to be earlier and shows more wear but is still a solid original piece. Imagine what images this took at the reach of one of the most iconic Yellowstone Photographers himself, Frank J. Haynes. Camera when the bellows are closed and is folded up measures approximately 15-inches high by 13.75-inches wide by 6-inched deep. When the rail attachment is secured to the back and the front rail is folded down and secured the camera is 30 3/5-inches long. The camera lens OD (outside diameter) is 2 1/8-inches. Camera back glass plate is 8-inches by 10-inches and is marked, "8" x 10" / 18x24 / CAMBO SC." Tripod measures by itself 35.5-inches long at its shortest when folded up. Several images of Haynes with large format cameras or other Haynes cameras are shown for example in the photo gallery. Once listed as high as $35,000 this historic camera is offered to public for this last chance to collect an important piece of Haynes history.

    18" by 9 1/2" Frank Jay Haynes (October 28, 1853 – March 10, 1921), known as F. Jay or the Professor to almost all who knew him, was a professional photographer, publisher, and entrepreneur from Minnesota who played a major role in documenting through photographs the settlement and early history of the great Northwest. He became both the official photographer of the Northern Pacific Railway and of Yellowstone National Park as well as operating early transportation concessions in the park. His photographs were widely published in articles, journals, books and turned into stereographs, and postcards in the late 19th and early 20th century.

    Heading: Author: Haynes, F. Jay Title: Portland Oregon Place Published: Fargo, Dakota Territory Publisher:F.

"F. Jay Haynes is distinguished from many of his contemporaries by his willingness, even impatience, to travel extensively in search of photo views. More than most, he received the opportunity to travel extensively. In 1876, Haynes fulfilled his first commission for the Northern Pacific Railroad Company. For the N.P., and himself over the next thirty years, he crisscrossed the West—from Duluth to Tacoma, from Fort Washakie to Juneau, from Rat Portage to the Great Falls of the Missouri, and from any point to Yellowstone National Park. / By 1879, when the Northern Pacific began its push to close the first northern mainline, Haynes already was the company's authorized photographer. He thereafter documented developments in the West, while providing appropriate photos for the N.P.'s widely disseminated promotional literature." - F. Jay Haynes: Photographer, p. 49.
