Item Details

Description

This is the rare version (1 of 2) of the 1906 copyrighted Heart of the Rockies in Colorado books, issued by the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad. It was sold on D&RG passenger trains. Published by the Williamson-Haffner Engraving Company of Denver, CO, this book has 24 colored photos of scenes along the D&RG lines, as well as description pages of the photos. The photos are in excellent condition. The cover is rough, with tears, frays, and missing pieces, and is loose from the binding, but the inside pages are all intact and connected. Some of the original yellow string is still present that held the book to the cover.
