Goldfield,NV - Esmeralda County - 1903 - Miners and Prospectors Photograph :
Goldfield's early hopefuls pose with donkeys. Photograph measures 8”x5 ¾”, no matte, high contrast, and focus is sharp. Very nice condition, except for a faded streak on the lower left. Photographer not identified, but possibly A. Allen, an early Goldfield photographer. Five men pose in this photograph. They are probably prospectors or miners that have arrived to the undeveloped town of Goldfield. Very clean image. One can clearly discern the faces of the individuals in the photo. More research could help identify one or more of the men. On the bottom of the photo, “Goldfield 1903” is printed with the image. The mining stampede to Goldfield did not fully develop until 1904 when the Combination Mine found rich ore bodies.
