[Salt Lake City, Utah] [Portrait of One Man Standing and Two Women Sitting]

Salt Lake City, UT: Art Bazar. Photograph. Very Good. Portrait photograph [14.5 cm x 20 cm] on a C. R. Savage mount [17.5 cm x 25 cm]. Subjects unknown. Written in pen, below the image: "Ho, for the Salt Lake! Aug. 8th 1894." A striking portrait image from the renowned Mormon pioneer photographer, Charles Roscoe Savage, who is best known for his images of the linking of the transcontinental railroad at Promontory Point, Utah. Savage was a prolific photographer of the American West in general, and of Utah and the Mormon experience in particular. He thoroughly documented the early settlement and development of Salt Lake City, including the long and arduous construction of the Mormon Temple over several decades. He also photographed many Indigenous North Americans, and is credited for taking the first photographs of what would later become Zion National Park.
