William David Jackson SR (1836 - 1906)
William David Jackson JR (1862 - 1902)
Gus B Jackson (1870 - 1949)

William David Jackson and sons William David Jackson JR and Gus B Jackson were all photographers.

There are many examples of the cabinet card work from Jackson Galleries. Which of the family is the actual photographer is not always clear. And they didn’t always include an address with their imprint on the cabinet cards, This makes it difficult to date a card by location or photographer.

The timeline here will represent events and documents from all three of them. This will perhaps help establish dates on some of the Jackson Gallery work.

Jackson JR appears to identify himself on some imprints but many cards are imprinted just "W D Jackson" or even just "Jackson" which could mean any of the three photographers.

Additionally, the studio location is not always in the imprint which also makes identification and dating difficult.

Not the one you were looking for? Here's the photographer's INDEX by name. All the Cabinet Card photographers of the 19th century found in LOST GALLERY are listed there.

Cabinet cards typically have the photographer’s name and address printed on the bottom edge or the reverse of the card. 19th century photographers moved around a lot. The basic idea here is to find WHEN a photographer was WHERE, which will help date an unidentified CABINET CARD from your family album.

This is a work always in progress.

Aditional information and New examples are always welcome. Any additional information will help narrow the time that these precious antiques were made.

All submissions should be free of glare and shadows.
Do not crop.
Leave a border around each card. The edges are sometimes an important clue to the age of the card.

Frederick C Philpot

Photographer: Philpot
Springvale, ME

Frederick C Philpot is missing from the 1920 US census. It appears that he was simply skipped. Perhaps he had closed his shop that week and wasn’t answering the door and the enumerator just didn’t get back to him. Although many adjacent addresses appear in the list, number 14 Washington Street does not. The enumerator does seem to be skipping around on that street a bit. Many addresses are out of sequence. See Sanford, ME, US census, district 0134, pages 22 and 23.

So though the Sanford, ME, city directories for 1919 and 1921 both show Philpot at 14 Washington Street, the US census for 1920 does not. The Sanford, ME, city directory for 1920 is unavailable.

Frederick C Philpot
(1856 - 1925)

1856 Oct 21
Limerick, York County, Maine, F C Philpot is born to Samuel B Philpot and Catherine E Harmon
1876 Apr 03
Samuel B Philpot, Frederick’s father, hangs himself at age 58

1890 (circa)
A photograph on Vintage Marine Images shows photographer Fred Philpot standing in front of his store where he sold bicycles, sewing machines and produced post cards. The store was lost in the great fire that destroyed much of Springvale, ME, 14 Apr 1905.

1903 Dec 05

1913 - 1924
Sanford, ME, city directory as photographer at 14 Washington
1925 Nov 17
Limerick, York, ME, F C Philpot dies at age 69

The above cabinet card could have been done any time in Philpot’s photography career from 1893 to his death in 1925. The imprint says Springvale, ME, which is a suburb of Sanford, only a couple miles north of the well documented address of 14 Washington Street.

There are no records to indicate whether this was an earlier studio opened before his studio in downtown Sanford or a later branch office but it was probably in the earlier period before the city burned.

Several other examples of cabinet cards by Philpot can be seen here .
