Summary

Description

Postcard photo of Union Pacific locomotive #119 at LaSalle, Colorado in 1930. The photo was taken by noted railroad photographer en:Otto Perry. Perry earned his living as a mailman in Denver; photographing trains was a hobby he pursued for many years. Perry was also known to travel outside of the Denver area to photograph trains.

Like many other railfans who take photos, Perry had prints made up as postcards and used a ink stamp to identify their work as these photos were shared with others who also had a hobby of photographing trains.

Perry died in 1970, leaving his collection of train photos and negatives to the Denver Public Library.
Date Perry's note says it was taken in 1930. Denver Public Library dates it as April 30, 1930. Dating the card according to the AZO stamp box on the back, this style of stamp box was used by AXO from 1925 to the 1940s.

  • I have archived the eBay auction and both views of the card-front and back-so it can be seen that this was not obtained from the Denver Public Library. DPL has only been able to sell prints of Perry's work since his death in 1970.
