Description

Black and white photograph print depicting two young men posing on the front deck of the Broomfield train depot, 1914. The photograph is actually a photograph of another photograph; this one is a Silver Gelatin print with glossy finish, probably taken in the 1950s or 1960s. Both of the individuals in the image are wearing newsboy caps and suits with bow ties. The young man on the left is holding a trumpet. Their luggage, around six suitcases or bags, are lying on the deck at their feet. The depot's baggage and living room doors are visible. The reverse side of the print has a sticky address label with the printed text "(Photo by Ray McKee of Englewood) Old depot - 1914." A number "10" is written in pencil and circled in the upper right corner. The photo's number, "1315", is on the left edge in blue pencil.
