About This Item
n.p.: n.p., 1899. Stiff card. Very good. Small album of stiff colored card containing 14 mounted black and white photographs. Each is mounted with a white border hand-drawn about it. Affixed to the upper board is an embossed chromolithographed die-cut yellow rose and the hand lettered date, 1899. The photographs are mainly 4 by 2½ inches, with a few smaller. There are no captions. They start with a male portrait., probably the photographer. This is followed by a "See Denver" trolley. the Floral Pavilion in City Park, what may be the lake in Washington Park, several pictures of parades of military personnel, carriages and cyclists. The second last photograph is of a train, perhaps at the end of the day. And finally, what appears to be the Indian Scout statue in City Park. Many of the photographs feature a lady dressed in a white blouse and a long dark skirt, probably the photographer's wife. The photographs are largely faded but still in very good condition.
This may be a record of the 1899 Festival of Mountain and Plain, held in October and featured parades, contests, dances. It was pushed by the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, which supplied trains at cheap fares for the event.
