Very Early Color Photos In Souvenir Post Card Folder At first look this appears to be a typical vacation postcard folder...until you look at the date on it. And while the cover says "Post Cards", the contents are in fact color photos without postcard backs, and on paper that is slightly smaller than standard post cards. There are pictures on both sides of the paper. It's a collection of 24 early (pre 1906) color photos of a variety of scenic attractions and railroad-related locations, mostly in Colorado with a few in Utah. The 24 included photos are: Natural Formations James Peak (from Arrowhead) CO Sunset on the Great Salt Lake UT Mount of the Holy Cross CO Cathedral Spires - Garden of the Gods CO The Siamese Twins Formation - Garden of the Gods CO Balanced Rock - Garden of the Gods CO The Major Domo - Garden of the Gods CO Seven Falls - Cheyenne Canyon - CO Rainbow Falls - Manitou Springs CO Attractions Elk Grazing on a Mountain CO Seventeenth Street, Denver CO State Capitol, Denver CO Bathing Pool, Glenwood Springs CO Temple and Tabernacle UT Sunset on the Great Salt Lake UT Pike's Peak & Antler Hotel CO Pike's Peak Signal Station CO Antlers Hotel, Colorado Springs CO Railroad Connected Union Depot, Denver CO Aerial View Of Georgetown Loop RR CO Moffat Line Tunnel, Dever Northwestern & Pacific RR CO Castle Gate on the Rio Grande, Rio Grand RR CO Cañon of the Grand River, Denver & Rio Grande RR CO The Royal Gorge, Denver & Rio Grande RR CO Condition: The folder was posted on July 20 in Denver, sent to Marlboro, NY. The front of the folder has the Denver postal stamp and the rear cover was stamped in Marlboro on July 23 (amazing in 1906!). A few of the pictures have bumped or folded edges but overall they are in very good condition. No rips, stains, holes or mold.
