Description: Pair of antique William Henry Jackson photographs depicting the Colorado railroad. Photos probably date to 1880 -1890's. From the internet: Jackson exhibited photographs and clay models of Ancestral Puebloan dwellings at Mesa Verde in Colorado in the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. He continued traveling on the Hayden Surveys until the last one in 1878. He later established a studio in Denver, Colorado, and produced a huge inventory of national and international views. He incorporated himself as W.H. Jackson Photograph and Publishing Company in 1883. Commissioned to photograph for western state exhibitions at the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago, he eventually produced a final portfolio of views of the just-shuttered "White City" for Director of Works and architect Daniel Burnham. The Denver Public Library has about 3,000 of Jackson's photographs in its collection, which include many photographs of picturesque Colorado landscapes and railroad scenes. The first photo is #804 (or 844?) and titled "Canyon of the Grand River". The second photo is #805 and titled "They Royal Gorge". Each photo has the W. H. Jackson Denver CO logo bottom right. Each photo measures approximately 4 1/4 inch x 7 1/4 inch. Both are mounted on thin cardboard that was trimmed to fit. Small tear to first photo.
