Majestic Color Views by William Henry Jackson
The Detroit Photographic Company (a.k.a. Detroit Publishing Company)
was launched as a photographic publishing firm in the late 1890s by
Detroit businessman and publisher William A. Livingstone, Jr., and
photographer and photo-publisher Edwin H. Husher. They obtained the
exclusive rights to use the Swiss "Photochrom" process for converting
black-and-white photographs into color images and printing them by
photolithography. Late in 1897, Livingstone persuaded the
accomplished American landscape photographer, William Henry
Jackson, to join the firm—adding thousands of his negatives to their
inventory. Over 25,000 images in the Library’s Detroit Publishing
Company offer a compelling portrait of historic America.

Colorful Glimpses of Utah at the Turn of the Century
Hugely popular from the 1890s to early 1900s, photochrom prints were
sold at tourist sites and through mail order catalogs to globe trotters,
armchair travelers, educators, and others to preserve in albums or put
on display. In their 1901 catalog, the Detroit Photographic Company
described their allure as a combination of: “…the truthfulness of a
photograph with the color and richness of an oil painting or the delicate
tinting of the most exquisite water color.” These selected Utah views
reflect some of collection’s diversity in capturing both enduring and
ephemeral places including city streets and architecture, natural
wonders, and recreational destinations.

First made in the 1850s, stereographs were most popular between 1870
and 1920. They consist of two nearly identical photographs or
photomechanical prints, paired to produce the illusion of a single three-
dimensional image, usually when viewed through a stereoscope. The
stereograph images displayed here include a 1903 visit by President
Theodore Roosevelt.

The Book of Mormon, Deseret Edition
The Deseret alphabet was devised as an alternative to the Latin
alphabet for writing the English language. It was developed during the
1850s at the University of Deseret, now the University of Utah, and was
promoted by Church President Brigham Young.
The name Deseret is taken from a word in the Book of Mormon and
means "honeybee. It reflects the Mormon use of the beehive as a symbol
of co-operative industry.
Brigham Young's secretary, George D. Watt, was among the designers of
the Deseret alphabet and is thought to have used the Pitman English
Phonotypic Alphabet of 1847 as the model.
The Mormon Church commissioned two typefaces and published four
books using the Deseret alphabet. The Church-owned Deseret News
also published passages of scripture using the alphabet on occasion. In
addition, some historical records, diaries, and other materials were
hand-written using this script, and it had limited use on coins and signs.
The alphabet failed to gain wide acceptance and was not actively
promoted after 1869.

The Pearl of Great Price
The Pearl of Great Price is one of four standard works that are accepted
as scripture for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. In
response to requests for further information about their new church,
The Pearl of Great Price was first published in 1851 at Liverpool,
England, by Franklin D. Richards, then president of the British Mission
and a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
This 1851 edition of The Pearl of Great Price contains revelations,
translations, and narrations of Joseph Smith. The volume includes
Genesis from the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible, the book of
Abraham, Matthew 24, A Key to the Revelations of St. John, and Joseph
Smith's 1838 account of his early visions and translation of the Book of
Mormon. Later editions divide the text into chapters and verses, and
include additional titles and information about Joseph Smith’s
revelations.

A Book of Commandments
Originally planned as a compilation of Joseph Smith’s early prophecies,
A Book of Commandments quickly rocketed to legend, as its planned
production of several thousand copies was severely limited in 1833 to
only 30 known complete copies and a scattering of remnants. Smith had
gathered some of his earlier teachings and presented them to the High
Priests’ Council in 1831. An edition of 10,000 copies was proposed,
later revised to a run of 3,000 to 5,000 copies.
The book was published by Missouri publisher and newspaperman,
W.W Phelps. His newspaper had run an editorial construed by many as
decidedly abolitionist. An outraged mob attacked the office of the
Evening and Morning Star, destroying the press and all but some 30
copies of an initial printing of A Book of Commandments. Although later
editions of Commandments would appear, their text was altered and in
many cases redacted from the 1833 edition.
