Frank Jay (F. Jay) Haynes (b.1853, Saline, Michigan; d. 1921, St. Paul, Minn.) began his photography career in 1876 when he opened his first studio in Moorhead, Minnesota. He moved to Fargo, Dakota Territory in 1879. In 1883 he photographed President Chester Arthur's late summer excursion in Yellowstone and later that year, under the sponsorship of Henry Villard, photographed the golden spike ceremony of the Northern Pacific Railroad, connecting Minnesota with the Puget Sound. He not only had studios in St. Paul (1895) and Fargo but a specially outfitted a railroad car called the Haynes Palace Studio, which served as elegant living quarters, studio, sales room and darkroom. Besides being an official photographer for the Northern Pacific railroad, in 1884 he received a concession for a photography studio in Yellowstone National Park, which was held with his son Jack Ellis (J. E.) Haynes through 1928 (F. Jay Haynes retired in 1916). He also had a successful stage touring business in Yellowstone. Among his assistants and operators at various times were E. W. Hunter and James Paris. Like William Henry Jackson, Haynes was very successful in selling work. He sold hundreds of thousands of views of Indians, frontier towns, people and development, and primarily views of Yellowstone. He photographed with Emerson Hough, advocating hunting restrictions in the National Park. He also traveled to Alaska, Canada and the Northwest United States taking scenic, town, hunting, and frontier views. He worked in many formats and media including stereocards, mammoth plates, albumen prints, photocroms, postcards, lithographs, collodion silver prints on printing out paper, gelatin silver prints, hand colored views, and lantern slides. He even made lithographed images on tourist items like thermometers, calendars, etc.
