For your consideration are two, original Alexander Martin photos taken at Grand Lake, in Middle Park, Colorado in 1998. Alexander Martin (1841-1929) was a Scottish-born photographer who became one of Colorado's most successful commercial photographers from the 1870s to around 1901. He established his first studio in Boulder in 1874 and later worked in Central City, Georgetown, and several places in Denver, regularly changing residences as his business expanded. Martin created a variety of photographic views, including elaborate cabinet cards, stereographs, and street scenes, depicting mining towns, railroads, mountain scenery, and everyday life in Georgetown, Denver, Boulder, Cripple Creek, Leadville, and Idaho Springs. He passed away in Denver, Colorado in November 1929. The first photo shows Grand Lake in Middle Park, Colorado from the West. The lake is the main focus in this photo with large mountains sitting in the background over looking the lake. Various rocks and trees can be seen in the foreground, lining the shore and surrounding area. The bottom is marked reading, "Reached Via C & S R.R. / 3840. Grand Lake, Middle Park, Colorado. From the West. A. Martin Photo.". The second photo shows the lake from the outlet. Over the outlet is a small, wood foot bridge and in the background is the lake and large mountains. The bottom of the photo is marked reading, "Reached Via C & S R.R. / 3821. Grand Lake, Colorado, From the outlet. A. Martin Photo". The photos show good condition overall with slight wear present from their age and use over the years, but no signs of damage is noted. The photos measure 5" L x 8" W and have a collective weight of under 6 ounces.
