Surveyor of Denver, "The Queen City of the Plains”:The moniker The Queen City of the Plains seems quite appropriate when viewing this stunning view of E. O Hoffman showing his surveying equipment. The rapid rise of Denver’s commercial and transportation industries seems well represented in this boudoir card by Cales. Mr. Hoffman has brought his transit walking cane, various squares, measuring tape and compass to review the map that hangs over the table, which nicely echoes the door that in the backdrop. To the viewer’s lower left is a framed print that contains a number of different images and an additional space left by the photographer so that Mr. Hoffman could sign the image. The rear of the card is taped, suggesting it framed in the past, as well as another inscription. This view can be seen in the comments of the post.Boudoir card by Cales Denver, Colorado.
