Mason Jackson (1862): A Prolific Photographer of His Time Mason Jackson, known as His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales's photographer, captured the essence of the 1862 era through his lens. From the Ascent of Mont Blanc expedition to Bisson's photographic expedition, Jackson's work graced The International Exhibition. His images ranged from the Mediaeval Court to the Nave looking east, and from H. Tidey's "The Last of the Abencerages" to angling scenes in Scotland. Jackson's portfolio also included iconic landmarks such as the Statue of Sir Hugh Myddelton at Islington-green and The Monument to George Stephenson at Newcastle-on-Tyne. His captivating images of St. Clare, Isle of Wight, and The Choral Festival in Peterborough Cathedral, along with the chairmen of the juries, showcased his versatility and mastery of the medium. Jackson's freshwater fishing series, featuring angling on Loch Leven and the Echaig, near Kilmun, Scotland, further highlights his talent and passion for documenting the world around him.
