A late-19th-century stereoview by the Keystone View Company depicting Phoebe's Arch, a natural sandstone formation (also known locally as Elephant Rock) near Palmer Lake, Colorado. The twin prints show the arch framed by scrub pine and boulders, with the Colorado landscape visible through the opening.
Format note: Standard arched-top stereoview mount, buff/tan card stock, measuring approximately 7" x 3.5" — the classic Keystone format of the period.
Studio: Keystone View Company, Manufacturers and Publishers, Meadville, PA and St. Louis, MO. Copyright 1898 by B.L. Singley, printed on the recto with the title "2403 — Phoebe's Arch, Palmer Lake, Col., U.S.A."
Inscription: Verso carries the multilingual title list (German, French, Spanish, Swedish captions) and printed descriptive text, numbered (74): "This natural arch, through a massive castled rock of red sandstone, known as Elephant Rock, is one mile from Palmer Lake." Note: the recto number reads "2403" while the verso number reads "2,408" — a printing discrepancy on this particular card; 2403 is the catalogued Keystone number for this title per institutional collections (Met, Amon Carter, NYPL).
Condition: Light overall toning consistent with age, with some edge and corner wear. Please review photos closely, as they are part of the description.
Ships promptly in a rigid mailer with tracking. Please reach out with any questions before offerding/buying.
