Chaffee County,CO - c1900-1905 - Sangre De Christo Range Photograph :
A view from Squaw Mt. Original matted photograph, c.1900-05. Image is approx. 9 1/2 x 7 1/2 in, mounted on a green matte approximately 9 3/4 x 8". Contrast is medium with sharp focus. Very fine condition with some light surface scratches on the photo. "Newby & Hopkins Photo," printed on lower left of image. Newby and various partners had offices in Victor 1899 & 1900; there were several Hopkins photo studios in Colorado, the closest to Victor being S. D. Hopkins who was active in Florence 1897-1899. [REF: Mautz]. Squaw Mountain overlooks the NW corner of Victor, but this view is taken looking southwest. Various buildings and roads can be seen in the foreground. The hill in the center of the photo is probably Grouse Mountain, with Little Peak to the left. The Carlton Tunnel runs from beneath Squaw Mountain on a line through a point approximately half-way between Grouse Mountain and Little Peak.
