Lot of 4. 1) Photo measures 5 3/8" x 3". A landscape view of Nevadaville city. Fairly small and deserted town with dirt roads and snow all over the ground to the left of the photograph. One mountain is seen in the background. At the bottom right of the photo is "1 Nevadaville Colo." which means that this photograph may have been part of a series at one point. Fine focus, medium contrast. 2) Measures 5 3/8" x 3 1/8". A birds eye view of late Nevadaville. Two railroads, and only about 6 to ten buildings can be seen. Various mountains, trees, and open spacious land surrounding. Somewhat washed out background, medium contrast. Good. 3) Closer landscape view of the town. Various buildings, all of them having similar shape and size, all down the sides of a main road. "3 Nevadaville Colo." is printed to the bottom right hand corner, indicating this photo may have been a part of the first photo's series. Great focus with medium contrast, good overall condition. 4) Measures 5 1/4" x 3 1/8". Photograph of two men, one riding a horse, and the other riding on a horse drawn wagon. Two or more rows of horses walking together in the same direction. Open desert land, with only three or so buildings seen in the distance. Photo was taken at an angle, as the horses and two men are headed up hill. Small patches of snow are seen throughout the background. Medium contrast and focus. Good overall condition. All photographs have no tears, folds, or stains, with unverified photographers. All are "glued" down onto a black sheet of construction paper.
