Colorado’s Leadville Mining District reveled in an illustrious and productive life during America’s romantic age of precious metal mining. With the discovery in 1874 of gold in California Gulch, glass-plate photographers endeavored to establish successful studios in the new mining district. Few photographers lasted more than a couple of years; however, there were those with enough artistic merit and business tenacity to exhibit a significant presence in the area for a long period of time. In 1884, Alfred Brisbois advertised himself as “The Leading Photographer of Leadville, Colo.” in Corbett & Ballinger’s Sixth Annual Leadville City Directory, while Edward Clements, a block down Harrison Avenue from Brisbois’ studio, only modestly listed his business. And Wellington O. Luke, also located on Harrison Avenue, simply listed his presence in the district. Of course, one of Colorado’s premier photographers, William Henry Jackson, whose studio was in Denver, made enough excursions to the region to compose an extensive catalogue of Leadville photographs. In 1904, only three photographers advertised in the Ballenger & Richards’ Leadville directory, none of whom were in the city in 1884. Over the decades, there had been close around forty-five various photographic studios in the Leadville Silver Mining District, all working to make an important and lasting contribution. Below are 75 original photographic examples of their skill and innovation.
