Rocky Mountain Views on the Rio Grande, "Scenic Line of the World" Consisting of Twenty-Four Colored Views from Recent Photographs. Made exclusively for The Van Noy Inter-State Company, Denver, Colorado. Published by Smith-Brooks Printing Company in 1917, this volume includes twenty-four brightly colored, razor-sharp photographs of scenes throughout western Colorado along or near the route of the Rio Grande Rail Road. There is a picturesque image of the state capitol in Denver and scenes from then-small cities like Pueblo, Manitou, Colorado Springs, Canon City, Glenwood Springs, and Leadville. Several images highlight the precipitous railroad grades along canyons and rivers, and others celebrate famous mountain scenes such as the Angel of Shavano, Mount of the Holy Cross, Mount Ouray, and Pike's Peak. Each image is still vibrant in color and clarity, and the cover has a one-inch tear at the lower left of the hinge. This is a beautiful photo album that vividly promoted railroad tourism in the early twentieth century. State: Colorado City: Date: 1917
