Showing the aftermath of a disaster dated to August 10, 1907, in Boulder, Colorado, this stereograph has caption tracings pointing to a railroad accident involving tourists. Stereo cards like this were sold in sets and viewed through a hand stereoscope, which gave viewers a sense of depth in scenes of news and travel. The card was copyrighted by Ed Tangen and numbered 250, a typical commercial product of the period. The caption information is unverified, so the exact circumstances remain open to further research.
