EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1895, offering a glimpse into the general view of Ouray and the majestic Rockies in Colorado, USA. The town of Ouray was born out of the fervent search for silver and gold by determined miners who flocked to these rugged mountains. This image is sourced from "Round the World in Pictures and Photographs: From London Bridge to Charing Cross via Yokohama and Chicago" published by George Newnes Ltd in London. The aerial perspective allows us to appreciate the vastness of this breathtaking landscape. The monochrome tones add a timeless charm, emphasizing every intricate detail of this mountainous region. As we explore this photograph further, we can see how industry has left its mark on this picturesque valley with mining operations dotting its surface. The Rocky Mountains stand tall as an imposing backdrop, their peaks reaching towards the heavens. Their grandeur serves as a reminder of nature's raw power and beauty that captivated both early settlers and modern-day adventurers alike. Although taken over a century ago, this print continues to transport us back in time, evoking a sense of wonder at how much has changed since then. It serves as a testament to human resilience and our eternal quest for exploration amidst challenging terrains. Credit goes to an unknown creator whose lens captured not only an exquisite moment but also preserved history for generations to come through their lens.
