EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Campsites among the foothills" transports us back in time to the late 19th century. Taken by Joseph Collier between 1875 and 1900, this stunning image captures a serene campsite nestled amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. The scene depicts a group of adventurous travelers who have set up their encampment near Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. The rugged landscape serves as a picturesque backdrop for this daily life scene, where men and women can be seen standing or seated around a table enjoying a meal together. Amidst the tranquility of nature, horses graze nearby while wagons stand ready for further exploration into the wilderness. Rifles lean against rocks, serving as reminders that these intrepid individuals are not only seeking leisure but also protection during their journey through untamed territory. This group portrait offers us a glimpse into an era when camping was not just about relaxation but also about embracing adventure and discovering new frontiers. It speaks to our innate human desire to connect with nature and explore uncharted territories. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are reminded of America's rich history and its deep-rooted connection with its vast landscapes. It is an invitation to step back in time and imagine ourselves amongst these pioneers, experiencing firsthand the thrill of camping in one of North America's most awe-inspiring regions - truly capturing the essence of old west exploration at its finest.
