John James Reilly (J. J. Reilly), (geboren 1838 in Schottland, gestorben Ende Juni 1894 in San Francisco, durch Suizid), war ein aus Schottland stammender, US-amerikanischer Fotograf. Er hat zahlreiche Fotografien, darunter auch Stereo-Fotos, in Kalifornien aufgenommen, vor allem in San Francisco und im Yosemite Valley, aber auch in Niagara an der kanadischen Grenze.

Lebensweg

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Reilly wanderte von Schottland aus in die USA ein. Im amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg leistete er freiwilligen Militärdienst in der Armee der Nordstaaten-Union. 1866 erhielt er die US-amerikanische Staatsbürgerschaft. Während einer Flaute zwischen den Finanzkrisen von September 1873 und August 1875 zog Reilly von Stockton (einer Stadt mit 10.000 Einwohnern) nach San Francisco (einer Stadt mit 150.000 Einwohnern).

Reilly lebte und arbeitete in den sieben Sommern von 1870 bis 1876 im Yosemite Valley.

Reilly was shooting and publishing in the Summer Season in Yosemite and printing and publishing in the Winter in the early 1870's in Stockton, either independently or in partnership with Ormsby or J. Pitcher Spooner (I have included a Spooner Stereoview with the back showing a camera with a J, a Pitcher, and a Spoon with a "er" on the handle) .

J.J. Reilly was in Partnership with M.M. Hazeltine in 1876 and the cards were published as J. J. Reilly and Co. Reilly followed with three years in San Francisco and then in Marysville.

Stereo World Magazine published a four part article in volumes 11-05, 11-06, 12-03 and 12-04 by Paul Hickman and Peter Palmquist. Peter also published potions of these articles (chronology) in "J.J. Reilly, a Stereoscopic Odyssey 1838 - 1894", Community Memorial Museum, Yuba City, CA., 1989.

Paul Hickman published a continuation/expansion/update of these articles in Stereo World volumes 33-04, 33-06 and 35-04.

S. 5: J. J. Reilly was a young Scottish emigrant in search of a new life when he arrived in California in 1856. After serving as a volunteer in the Union Army, he became a naturalized American citizen in 1866. The economic depression that still plagued the nation in the year of the centennial had not yet shaken his basic, positive attitude toward his adopted homeland. His views “from the Pacific Shore” were the first photographs to be received at the Philadelphia world's fair. Ten years later, after another business slump and another broken marriage, Reilly's optimistic views about the nature of art and life in America were abandoned altogether, but for the preceding fifteen years he was quite explicit about the national character of his work. He devised a total of eight different logos for his stereo cards between December 1871 and August 1886. He updated his imprint whenever he formed or dissolved a partnership and whenever he made a seasonal or permanent change of address. ( A few of his unnumbered cards fail to specify any place of publication .) The photographer was forever changing his logo, but in fifteen years there was one phrase that he never changed. Every known card of the period is inscribed with the obvious yet significant fact that Reilly's stereographs were "Views of AMERICAN SCENERY."

S. 6: Reilly moved from Stockton (a town of 10.000) to San Francisco (a city of 150,000) during a lull between the financial panics of September 1873 and August 1875. His three places of residence in the city were all located within five blocks of the Palace Hotel.

S. 9: Reilly lived and worked in Yosemite Valley for seven summers (1870-76). In these years, he had some satisfying, mountaintop experiences with Muir, but neither photographer nor guide was really free to leave the Valley for any length of time during the peak months of the tourist season. The financial success of Reilly's photographic business depended on the patronage of a heavy, seasonal influx of tourists.

S. 10 from 1870 to 1872, Reilly was forced to share the tourist trade with Yosemite's other resident photographer, M.M. Hazeltine. After Hazeltine returned to Yosemite in 1876, rather than fight over a limited supply of customers, the former rivals made the only sensible business decision. They joined forces and formed a monopoly. After Reilly left the Valley, Hazeltine continued to do "a good business" in the taking and selling of "landscape photographs and groups (with the Yosemite Falls as the background)." S.C. Walker and Gustavus Fagersteen succeeded Reilly and Hazeltine as proprietors of the local photographic concession. Business continued to follow the old, established patterns. Old views were marketed on new cards; new groups of tourists were photographed near the site of the old "Stereoscopic View Manufactory."

S. 21: From 1884 to 1886 the Southern Pacific Railroad had displayed Reilly's views at three large exhibitions in the southeastern United States.

S. 22: The highest unemployment rate of the entire depression was recorded in June 1894. Unwanted and adrift, the itinerant photographer had wandered back to San Francisco. It was a city with a hundred and fifty millionaires, but J.J. Reilly was out of work and out of money. By the end of the month, he had resolved his feelings of ennui and despondency; he had committed suicide.

Hazeltine, Photographed by Walker & Fagersteen"; most likely scenario is that original negs. were taken by Reilly, Fagersteen, Walker, or Hazeltine and that through a series of business arrangements the views were pub. by whichever photog. continued to live in Yosemite; the negs. or possibly a large stock of prints were then taken over by Walker & Fagersteen; later Walker left and Fagersteen rubberstamped the remaining stock.
