Postcard, a "Colorado SPECTA-VUE" by John Topolnicki. Caption on the reverse: "In the Cool of the Rockies" and "from glaciers, from springs, from rivulets, these playful, crystal clear cascades, born from the heart of mountain peaks, are in reality a sylvan setting, reflecting the myriad visions of serenity in our Colorado Rockies".

Justen G. "Jess" Oakley and Eli Fletcher carry the mail down snow-covered Main Street, Breckenridge, during the "Big Snow" event of 1898-1899. The men volunteered to ski over Boreas Pass to Como, where the Denver, South Park and Pacific (DSP&P) railway was stopped. Heavy snowstorms prevented trains from delivering mail, fresh food and other supplies. Quoted from handwritten text on the reverse: "US mail via snow shoe winter of the 78 day blockade".
