EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "PIKEs PEAK: ROAD, c1890" takes us back in time to the late 19th century. Captured by renowned photographer William Henry Jackson, it showcases a breathtaking landscape of Pikes Peak, Colorado. In this image, we witness the daring adventure of coaches and a buckboard navigating their way through switchbacks known as the W's on the carriage road. The zigzagging path carved into the rocky mountain creates an exhilarating sight for both tourists and locals alike. The rugged beauty of the Rocky Mountains serves as a dramatic backdrop to this scene. The dirt road winding down from Pikes Peak adds an element of excitement to this excursion, as horse-drawn carriages descend with precision around each curve. As we delve into this photograph, we are transported to a time when travel was not just about reaching your destination but also about immersing oneself in nature's wonders. This snapshot captures that sense of adventure and exploration that defined turn-of-the-century America. With its impeccable composition and attention to detail, this print is truly a testament to William Henry Jackson's skill as a photographer. It allows us to appreciate both the natural grandeur of Pikes Peak and the human determination required to conquer such formidable terrain. The Granger Collection has once again brought history alive through art with this remarkable piece that perfectly encapsulates an era long gone but forever cherished in our hearts.
