This gelatin silver print entitled "Spanish Peaks" was taken by David DeHarport circa 1942-1943. In the photograph, two trees in the foreground stand on either side, framing the Spanish Peaks in the background.
​
The United States Congress designated the Spanish Peaks Wilderness in 2000, and it now has a total of 19,226 acres ⛰️ ⛰️
📸 DeHarport (1921-2001) was a photographer, archaeologist, and anthropologist. Between 1937-2000, DeHarport photographed much of the southwestern United States, specifically focusing on Colorado and the Four Corners region. Much of his work focused on abandoned agricultural and mining towns in Colorado, as well as landscapes of the state's eastern plains.
