St. James Park in Jacksonville, Florida, is the subject here, and the catalog lists monuments and memorials among its features, so the view likely includes a commemorative statue or marker in the park. The negative is an 8 x 10-inch glass plate, marked with the initials "WHJ," which point to William Henry Jackson, the photographer whose work helped build the Detroit Publishing Company's large catalog of American views. From about 1895 to 1910, Jacksonville was a busy river port and a growing winter destination for visitors from the North, and the company's photographers recorded such towns for sale as prints and postcards.
