B.D. Jackson (ca.1850-1937) was born in Sullivan, Ohio; the "B" stood for Bradford, and the "D" came from his nickname Dan. He began his career as a portrait photographer in Grand Rapids, Michigan. In 1901, in search of a better climate, he moved to Pomona, California where he purchased a portrait studio. In addition to portrait work, he began photographing the surrounding towns and the mountains and beaches of Southern California. Jackson lived and worked at various times in Pomona, Los Angeles,Pasadena, Hollywood, La Canada, Glendora, La Crescenta, and Glendale, all of which figure in his work. Eventually he gave up the portrait aspect of the business and concentrated on landscape views for the production of stereographs and postcards.
The B. D. Jackson Collection of Negatives and Photographs ist archived at the the Huntington Library.

B. D. Jackson used the portrait of Frances O. Magher for advertisement. He printed a rasterized photo on a note which he glued onto the back of other cabinet card portraits he made. The ad says: “Five different Pictures all taken at one time without changing the position”.

Comunidade da Primeira Comunhão

This image gives the idea of the First Holy Communion an interesting twist. What about the first communion with yourself as an other?
She is trying hard not to look at her mirror images by looking into that book which will fix her identity.

There is a photographers blind stamp in the lower right corner:

I read: "H Raffaelli / S PAULO". But I could not find any information about this photographer. Perhaps the name is Roffaells, or Poffaelli, or Taffaelli or the town is not Sao Paulo in Brazil. If you have any information or other photos like this please contact me.
