Colorado Springs, Colorado: Byron H. Gurnsey, 1875. Original stereoview: albumen prints mounted on printed card stock. A rare and highly sought-after western stereoview showing a group of Ute males in front of the photographer's studio on Pike's Peak Avenue in Colorado Springs circa 1875. Most of the men are holding weapons; one of them has both a Maynard Carbine (the first one with a folding sight) and a Colt Model 1860 army revolver. This stereoview is from the collection of Robert N. Dennis, who was one of the most important stereoview collectors in the U. S. The New York Public Library's "Robert N. Dennis Collection" includes more than 70,000 stereoviews from his collection, many of which can be viewed on the library's website. The albumen prints are clean and bright, with very good contrast. The mount is clean, with a hint of edgewear and another previous owner's name written neatly on the back. Also on the back of the mount someone has written the title, "Ute Indians" in pencil.. First…
