Denver, Colorado, 1859

Denver, Colorado, 1859 is a hand-colored 19th-century American lithograph depicting the earliest days of the Denver settlement at the height of the Pike’s Peak Gold Rush and westward expansion. The panoramic view records tents, wagon camps, and a Native American encampment along the South Platte River with the Rocky Mountains rising in the distance, capturing the frontier landscape just as the city began to take shape.
