Description

THE DENVER & RIO GRANDE RAILWAY, Kokomo Engine, on La Veta Pass, Sangre de Christo Range, COLORADO, 1882.

Original mammoth-sized albumen photograph on original Denver & Rio Grande Railroad mount. Image: approximately 21 inches by 17 inches. Dimensions with original labeled mat: 23 inches by 28 inches.

Strong tones and contrasts, very fine detail; image a shade light. There is some roughness on the yellow borders presumably caused by the removal of on original matting atop the original base matting. This damage includes a slightly roughened area in the upper left-hand border and slightly into the original photograph about the size of a quarter. Damage appears to have been lightly colored. Slight waviness in original mat board.

William Henry Jackson was contracted by Board of The Denver & Rio Grande Railroad to photograph images along the route of the railway. This photograph is one of the more dramatic images.
