William Henry Jackson was one of the most significant photographers of the American West, known for his documentation of the U.S. Geological Survey expeditions and the landscapes and settlements of the Rocky Mountain region. This stereo view of Leadville, Colorado captures the mining boomtown from an elevated vantage point, showing the rapid growth of the settlement against the surrounding mountain terrain during its peak silver mining years. Leadville was one of the most productive silver mining centers in the world during the late 1870s, and Jackson's documentation of it constitutes an important body of Western American photographic record.
