Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Excellent to Near Fine. A glass negative showing a prospector posing with his two donkeys on top of Grays Peak, Colorado. The captions read: "AN OLD PROSPECTOR AND HIS FRIENDS, GRAYS PEAK, COLO, 14000 FT, 1889 / WHEN SHALL WE THREE MEET AGAIN / GRAYS PEAK, GEORGETOWN, COLO, DALGLEISH BRO. PHOTO". The Dalgleish Brothers opened a photography studio in Georgetown in 1889, and left the town for Sterling, Colorado, in 1911. Georgetown was settled in 1859 after brothers David and George Griffith discovered gold. The town and its mines intermittently boomed, particularly following the discovery of silver in 1864. Though the mines were rich, Georgetown's mountainous landscape made transit difficult, and the complex ores required specialized smelting. Mines near Grays Peak included the Broken Handle and Stevens Mines, both of which are near the base of Grays and Kelso Mountain. Georgetown was prosperous through the 1870s and 80s, but never recovered from the Panic of 1893. Glass negative measuring 5 x 7 inches. Captioned on negative, both sides. (Note: the listing photograph has been inverted from the original.).
