The panoramic format of this print, roughly 7.5 by 48.5 inches, suits the wide sweep of Pikes Peak in Colorado, a 14,115-foot summit that rises above the plains near Colorado Springs. The copyright deposit records the claimant as Stewart Brothers of Colorado Springs and lists a September 9, 1919 filing date, so the view was likely made for sale to visitors. The peak drew tourists in large numbers after the Manitou and Pikes Peak Railway, a cog line, began carrying passengers to the summit in 1891. Its inclusion on a railroad and scenic board reflects that connection between rail travel and mountain sightseeing.
