Featured in this lot is this Alexander Martin photo of Leadville, Colorado in the late 1880-90s, taken from Carbonate Hill. Alexandra Martin was born in Scotland in 1841. Martin opened his first Colorado studio in Boulder in 1874 and stayed there until around 1878. He then created two studios, one in Central City and another in Denver. He ran his photographic business from those two locations until 1884, when he chose to relocate to Georgetown. He stayed there until 1888, when he decided to return to Denver. From 1888 to 1890, he had a photography studio at 1634 Larimer Street. Leadville was also home to Doc Holiday, who lived there for five years and was known to gamble a lot in the town. It shows the town of Leadville from an almost birds eye view as the photo was taken from Carbonate Hill. Leadville was, at one point, the highest elevation mining camp in the world and was the highest in the United States. Many houses and buildings can be seen, while a large lumber building is seen in the foreground near the photographer. The bottom of the photograph is marked reading, "2603, Leadville From Carbonate Hill", while the back features a brief write up on the towns history. The photo shows good condition overall with slight wear present from its age and use over the years, but no major signs of damage noted. It measures 4 1/2" L x 7" W and weighs under 6 ounces. Provenance: From the Tombstone Western Heritage Museum in Tombstone, Arizona. DH35
