Mason Jackson (1862): A Prolific Photographer's Journey through History and Nature Blessed with the title of 'His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales' photographer, Mason Jackson captured historical moments and breathtaking landscapes during the 1862 International Exhibition in London. His works, including views of the Nave and Mediaeval Court, showcased the grandeur of the event. Jackson's photographic expeditions extended beyond the exhibition, capturing the essence of Scotland through angling scenes on Loch Leven and the Echaig. His images of freshwater fishes brought the beauty of Scottish waters to life. Jackson's portfolio also included portraits of significant landmarks, such as the Statue of Sir Hugh Myddelton at Islington-green and the Monument to George Stephenson at Newcastle-on-Tyne. His artistic vision extended to capturing the serene beauty of St. Clare on the Isle of Wight and the grandeur of the Choral Festival in Peterborough Cathedral. As the chairmen of the juries at the International Exhibition, Jackson's photographs were celebrated for their exceptional quality and ability to preserve history and nature for future generations.
