After
consulting professionals at the Denver Art Museum, History Colorado, and
the Western History Depart of the Denver Public Library, the general consensus
is that the format for this original William Henry Jackson photograph is
quite scarce. One hypothesis put forth is that this particular
image was used as "salesman's sample" for Jackson's photographs
and that it may have hung in a specially reserved photographer's train car
(as depicted in the above photograph). Another concept put forth is
that it was an exceptional promotion for the Denver & Rio Grande
Railroad placed in depots or grand hotels along its routes.
