Large toned cyanotype photographic collage printed on fabric, measuring approximately 20 inches square. The composition presents multiple scenic views from Colorado arranged in decorative geometric panels. Visible captions identify several locations including Balanced Rock, Garden of the Gods, Seven Falls, South Cheyenne Canyon, and views of Manitou and Colorado Springs.
The photographs depict well-known tourist sites of the Pikes Peak region including rock formations, canyon scenery, and resort architecture. One panel shows the large hotel structure at The Antlers, Colorado Springs, while others illustrate the dramatic rock formations and waterfalls that made the area a major late nineteenth century tourist destination. Such views were widely circulated as souvenirs during the peak years of Colorado tourism around the turn of the twentieth century.
The images are printed directly onto cloth using the cyanotype process, here appearing in a warm toned variation rather than the typical deep blue. The fabric format and composite arrangement suggest a commemorative or souvenir textile produced for visitors to the Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs resort region.
