Valley of the Los Pinos, Looking East Photograph by Jackson, William Henry

Very Good. Image measures 16" x 19 7/8". Light edge wear, with a 1/2" x 6" white spot below the caption, probably from damaged corner of negative plate. Image cropped due to scanner size; more images available upon request. This black and white photograph was developed from the original glass plates of William Henry Jackson, and contains a caption, the number 1023, and the imprint of the Detroit Photographic Company, which bought Jackson's negatives in 1897. Shown are a man sitting in the foreground, a rail car off the tracks, and mountains faintly visible in the background, in the Valley of Los Pinos near the New Mexico-Colorado border. Original plate is circa 1880s. The print was developed from the Colorado Historical Society's glass plate collection circa 1970s by Richard A. Ronzio, a collector of historic Colorado photographs who furnished images for many books on railroads and mining in Colorado. Ronzio also wrote "Silver Images in Colorado." ; .
