Jackson's Spectregraph Photos
Bradford D. Jackson, 103 Monroe St., Grand Rapids, Mich.
Portrait of Frances Orpha Magher at the age of 5-6
Cabinet Card, ca. 1895
"JACKSON'S Spectregraph Photos.
The Most Attractive Style of Portrait ever introduced.
Five different pictures without changing the position.
All made at one sitting."
Collection Heinz-Werner Lawo
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”.

"Five Photos in One Exposure
On the Atlantic City boardwalk a photographer makes use of a clever device for simultaneously producing five different views of the same subject on the same photo with only one exposure. The method is simple: Two large mirrors are placed together like the covers of a half-open book, with their reflecting surfaces facing each other. The angle formed by the mirrors is about 40°. A small triangular table is fitted into the space between the mirrors, and the subject to be photographed sits at the table facing the mirrors, which produces four reflections at a point a few feet behind the subject.
Bennie Agron, Atlantic City, N. J." In: Popular Mechanics Magazine, Vol. 50, December 1928, No. 6, P. 1031

Reproduction of a Multiphotograph

MULTIPHOTOGRAPHY.
A very pretty system of photography, enabling us to see ourselves as others see us, and affording opportunity for much range in the art of posing, is the multiphotograph. If an image is placed in front of two mirrors inclined to each other at an angle of 90°, three images will be produced in the mirror; at 60°, five images will be produced; and at 45° seven images; and if the mirrors are parallel, theoretically an infinite number of images will result.
In the process of photography which we illustrate advantage is taken of this to produce at one exposure a number of different views of the same subject. The person to be photographed sits with the back to the instrument, while in front of the face are two mirrors, set at the desired angle to each other, their inner edges touching. In the case illustrated these mirrors are inclined at an angle of 72°. Four images are produced. The exposure is made, and on the developed negative appear not only the back view of the subject, but also the four reflected images in profile and different three-quarter positions. The courses taken by the rays of light are determined by the law that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. In the diagram we have traced the rays of light on their course from subject to mirror and back to the camera, giving a good idea of the relation of the images to the subject and of the five images to the focal plane, the virtual position of the images being further from the instrument than is the subject proper.
The gallery equipment for this class of work is shown in one of the views, while the appearance presented by a full length figure with the aid of the mirrors is shown in another cut. A very interesting illustration of what can be done by this process is presented by the reproduction of a photograph actually taken, where the interesting expression and marked characteristics of the face serve to bring into strong prominence the utility of this process for representing the human face.
It is obvious that simple as the process and idea appear, it might have many uses in the study of other forms of nature.

Cissy Fitzgerald (1873-1941)

Photo-Multigraph by H.L. Bostwick
Halftone reproduction in Walter E. Woodbury, Photographic Amusements, New York 1896.
Justin Harwood mailed this information to me about his great-grandmother: "Cissy Fitzgerald appeared in a number of famous London and Broadway performances under the successful Vaudeville manager George Edwardes. A Gaiety Girl was first performed at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London in 1893. George Edwardes then brought the performance and cast to New York in 1894 and it was a huge success. Cissy was known as the girl with the wink (a very sexually suggestive thing to do in Victorian London). The Foundling was another Broadway hit and was performed at Daly's Theatre New York in 1895. Cissy was one of the first actresses to be captured on film by Edison in 1896. Cissy then went on to become a prolific actress in Hollywood: she appeared in 70 films, starting with The Accomplished Mrs Thompson in 1914 and ending with Patricia Gets Her Man in 1937."
