Howdy. Let’s take a deep dive into the first photographs of Utah in the United States. These images are dated from 1869 through 1872 and are attributed to Timothy O’Sullivan and William Henry Jackson.

These men were involved in some of the first surveys of the American Southwest, and their images provided the clearest details of the glory of Utah. Outstandingly, many formations and structures now labeled as naturally occurring appear much more in question 150 years ago. Overall, these are remarkable photographs from a time period when the American Southwest was still very much an unknown.
