EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, capturing a moment in time along the Pikes Peak Toll Road in Colorado. Dating back to 1888, this historic road was a popular route for adventurous tourists seeking breathtaking views from Pikes Peak's summit. The image showcases an avenue lined with rustic buildings and cabins, giving us a glimpse of life during that era. A horse-drawn carriage can be seen making its way up the winding road, symbolizing the journey that visitors would embark on to reach their destination. The presence of people adds depth and scale to the scene, reminding us of the human connection to this picturesque landscape. Professor George R. Cromwell documented this remarkable sight in his book "A Tour Through the New World America" published around 1897. His work aimed to capture and share the beauty of American landscapes with readers across continents. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported back in time, imagining ourselves as part of that bygone era. It serves as a reminder of how travel and exploration have always been integral parts of our human experience – seeking new horizons while cherishing our connection with nature. This print is not just an artistic representation; it holds historical significance as well. It allows us to appreciate both the natural wonders found along Pikes Peak Toll Road and those who paved its way for future generations' enjoyment.
