Tonopah,NV - Nye County - c1912 - Tonopah Panoramic View Photograph :   -
This bird's eye view of the town was produced by Sheelor Photo Studio. Measuring 48" by 12," it is encased in an oak frame and protective glass cover. The glass has a small finger sized pit near the middle of the photo, due to a bb shot damaging the glass. While viewers cannot see any damage to the picture, it must have a small hole in it as the cardboard backing has a tiny hole in it where the bb exited. In spite of the damage, the photo's focus and contrast are excellent. Viewers are able to see the town from it's center to it's periphery clearly. The mines are centered in the background, while a train moves through town billowing black smoke out of the engine as it goes. Tonopah seems quite modern having both phone and electricity. The bungalow type houses make the place seem sleepy as does the absence of traffic from horses, wagons, autos, or people on the streets.
