Call NumberX-17955Date1885SummaryChildren look out the windows of a horse-drawn omnibus in Canon City, Colorado. Painted flourishes and a vignette of a country scene decorate the side of the conveyance, and lettering on the railed roof reads: "City Transfer." The driver holds a whip and the reins of his team. A man and a dog are in a buggy and women behind a fence are in the yard of a two-story, frame, gable-roofed house with a stovepipe. Rocky hills are in the background.Physical Description1 copy photonegative ; 10 x 13 cm (4 x 5 in.); 1 photoprint ; 21 x 28 cm (8 x 10 in.)Born-Digital or AnalogAnalogSubjectHorse-drawn omnibuses--Colorado--Canon City--19th centuryCanon City (Colo.)Houses--Colorado--Canon City--19th centuryGeographic AreaCanon City (Colo.)CollectionPhotographs - Western HistoryRelated MaterialImage File: ZZR710017955Type of MaterialFilm negativesPhotographic printsNotesFormerly F34237.
