EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Larimer Street, Denver, Colorado, in the year 1862. Captured by William Gunnison Chamberlain, a renowned American photographer of that era, this image showcases the essence of a bustling frontier town. In this snapshot from history, we witness an ox train laboriously pulling a boiler along Larimer Street. The covered wagons and steam power vehicles add to the sense of progress and development taking place during this period. The architecture of the buildings lining the street reflects both the charm and simplicity of early Western townscape. As we delve into this photograph's details, we notice a post office standing proudly among other facades. It serves as a reminder that even amidst rapid expansion and change brought about by westward migration and urbanization, essential services were already established. The Civil War era is palpable in every corner of this image - from the clothing worn by pedestrians to the presence of oxen on city streets. This glimpse into Denver's past evokes feelings of nostalgia for those who appreciate old-western aesthetics or have an interest in American history. Preserved with care at Denver Public Library's Western History Collection, this remarkable piece allows us to travel through time and experience life as it once was on Larimer Street over 150 years ago.
