Louis Charles McClure made a career of photographing throughout Colorado and today his work provides a priceless record of life from the close of the last century through the 1920s. He traveled around the state, frequently on assignments for railroads eager to have pictures of the scenery along their lines to lure tourists to their trains. His photos of such roads as the Florence & Cripple Creek, Switzerland Trail, Colorado & Southern and Moffat Road are considered among the finest of that era. McClure ventured to countless locations; mining towns, agricultural communities and the state's major cities. But some of his most interesting work is found in the Denver cityscape collection, dramatically documenting the city with photos of downtown-stores, theaters and historic buildings which exist today only in memories-the beautiful park and residential neighborhoods, commercial districts and the fondly remembered Denver Tramway trolley car system.
Whether photographing cowboys on the range, miners deep underground or a mighty locomotive struggling to crest a high pass, McClure produced consistently superb photos displaying a sense of artistry seldom surpassed. On these pages are presented a choice selection of his work drawn from more than 4000 glass plate negatives in the collection now preserved at the Western History Department of the Denver Public Library. Each picture is a glimpse back at a moment in time, forever captured in a classic PHOTO BY MCCLURE.
