EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking Alpine Pass in Colorado, circa 1897. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its historical significance. Featured in the book "A Tour Through the New World America" by Professor Geo. R. Cromwell, this photograph showcases a historic narrow gauge railroad that traversed through this perilous landscape. The rugged cliffs and steep cliff faces depicted in this monochrome masterpiece evoke a sense of danger and precariousness. The remote location adds to its allure, showcasing the untouched beauty of the American West during the 19th century. Transportation played a vital role in opening up such remote areas for exploration and development, as seen with this railway snaking through the treacherous pass. This image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination in conquering geographical obstacles. As we gaze upon this scenic vista captured over a century ago, we can't help but marvel at how far our country has come since then. It reminds us of our rich history and serves as an inspiration to continue pushing boundaries. With every detail meticulously preserved by The Print Collector, it allows us to immerse ourselves in an era long gone while appreciating the natural wonders that still exist today within our great nation's borders.
