Featured in this lot is this original photo of Leadville, Colorado taken from Carbonate Hill in the 1880s by prominent photographer William Henry Jackson (1843-1942). William Henry Jackson was a pioneering American photographer, most renowned for his documentation of the American West, particularly his work with the Hayden Survey. His photographs played a crucial role in establishing Yellowstone National Park and influencing public perception of the West. Leadville was founded in 1877 by mine owners Horace Tabor and August Meyer at the start of the Colorado Silver Boom. Tabor's house was also built in 1877, at 116 E. 5th Street. The town was built on desolate flat land below the tree line. 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, "1202. Leadville From Carbonate Hill.". It shows good condition overall with slight wear present from its age and use over the years, but no major signs of damage is noted. It measures 5" L x 8" W and weighs under 6 ounces.
