Here is a W G Chamberlain stereoview of the jagged peaks and rock formation just outside the Lodge at Glen Eyrie in Colorado Springs Colorado. c1870s. Hand numbered. #93. Glen Eyrie is an English Tudor-style castle built by General William Jackson Palmer, the founder of Colorado Springs.

This house was his dream home and is near Colorado Springs in the northwest foothills north of the Garden of the Gods rock formations (now a city park). William Gunnison Chamberlain was one of the most famous Colorado photographers of the late nineteenth century. He was born in Newburyport, Massachusetts on November 9, 1815. Early in his life he traveled to Peru where he learned the art of making daguerreotype photographs. He then traveled to the California gold regions shortly after the gold rush of 1849. By 1855, Chamberlain found himself in Chicago, and by 1861 he had finally settled in Denver. He produced the bulk of his photographs out of the Denver area until 1889. He concentrated in particular on mining districts and Colorado natural scenery. He operated under his own name from 1864-77, and as \"Chamberlain & Son\" in 1881, at which time he sold his studio to Francis D. Storm. In 1887 and \'88 (and part-time in 1889), Chamberlain worked with William Henry Jackson out of Jackson’s Denver studio. Image good. The mount has fading to the green coloring and a small black out area on the back.
