EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Sultan Mountain, located near Silverton, Colorado in the United States. Taken around 1900 by an unknown photographer, it offers a breathtaking view of the San Juan mountain range within the Rocky Mountains. The area depicted holds significant historical importance as part of the Colorado Mineral Belt, known for its abundant ore deposits that sparked a gold rush in the mid-19th century. The photograph is featured in "Scenic Marvels of the New World" edited by Professor George R. Cromwell, shedding light on this remarkable geographical feature and its rich mining industry. In fact, during the gold rush era of the 1850s alone, over 700 tonnes of gold were extracted from these lands. The image captures not only nature's grandeur but also human intervention with railway tracks visible at the base of Sultan Mountain. This serves as a reminder of how transportation played a vital role in facilitating mining operations and connecting remote areas to civilization. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece today, we are transported back to an era when untouched wilderness coexisted with industrial progress. It is through such photographs that we can appreciate both our natural heritage and our collective history as we continue to cherish and preserve these scenic marvels for generations to come.
