About This Item
Glenwood Springs, Colorado: Dennis, 1890. Albumen photograph, 7 ¼ x 4 ¾ inches on larger mount. Near Fine. An uncommon cabinet card lampooning the plight of the solitary miner through a series of drawings. The drawings show a man setting out to strike it rich before burying himself in a hole, from which he is eventually rescued. The final drawing shows him relaxing at home with a pipe and his foot in a cast. We find no record of the photographer, only a similarly named E.W. Dennis who was active in Canon City and Colorado Springs during the same era. Fine condition with minimal wear.
