Rare antique stereoscope card by master pioneer photographer Charles Emery. This 3d photograph is a cityscape image in a series he produced called "Views of Rocky Mountain Scenery, Scenes along the line of Denver & Rio Grande Railroad", I have several others rare Charles E Emery stereoviews listed too.

The title of the photograph is on the back " Forest Fire on the Sangre de Cristo range ". This particular one is of a forest fire that was raging on the west side of the Sangre de Christo range near Silver Cliff Colorado. The scene silhouettes the town in the foreground with the looming smoke clouds menacingly towering above. This fire was documented by Charles Emery first hand as his photographs of this phenomena date this image to June 1880.

Some of Charles E Emerys works are currently on exhibition at The Annapolis Collection Gallery, Annapolis, MD.

Condition Disclosure

All our items are vintage/antiques and most have had decades of use. A buyer of vintage objects should assume a baseline of wear. I am always honest and clear in my descriptions and always endeavor to point out any flaws to avoid disappointment but I cannot disclose every minute sign of use on our items as it would be impossible to do so. You should assume these are present unless we specify otherwise here at the beginning of the condition report.

Please do not hesitate to request additional photographs should you wish to inspect the item in more detail before purchasing it or if you have any questions at all that are not answered in my description. I normally respond to enquiries very quickly.
