On a visit to the Saguache County Museum last summer, we discovered this beautiful, hand-colored photograph of a young boy on his tricycle as part of their collection. Museum Director Dorraine Gasseling was kind enough to let us rephotograph it and use it as this month’s cover.
The photo is of Saguache native, Jack Redhead, son of Mabel Redhead, according to a note on the back of the photo. The back is also stamped with “Hand Colored De Luxe Kodak Enlargement Made by Broome Bros., Pueblo, Colo.” Jack was born in 1920, so the photo probably dates back to the mid-20s.
