Outstanding early stereoview titled Palmer’s Ranch, from Collier’s “Rocky Mountain Scenery” series, published in Central City, Colorado. Labeled as No. 79 in the Cache-a-la-Poudre series, the scene captures a rugged log cabin deep in the Colorado wilderness with a dramatic rocky butte in the background.

In front of the cabin with antlers mounted above the doorway, a group of men pose with rifles, pistols, and hunting knives — one aiming his rifle while seated, others posing confidently. A covered wagon is parked nearby, emphasizing the frontier context of the image. This is a quintessential Western hunting camp scene, rich with period detail and atmosphere.

The verso is period-penciled “No. 79 Cache-a-la-Poudre Series / Palmer’s Ranch.”

A killer Western image with a powerful composition — fantastic detail in the weapons, antlers, and pioneer dress. A must-have for Colorado, frontier, or early hunting collectors.
