Benford’s Denver based publishing company was known for producing these works, which contained notable places and prominent meeting places as well as City Hall’s and universities. Created as though the artist were above the city, the panoramic style of these productions immediately transports the viewer back in time, and they are genuinely authentic pieces of cartographical history. This style was quite popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Colorado Springs had experienced a population boom in the late 19th century with the completion of railroad lines into the city.
