Lot 45: Two Old West Railroad Related Prints, One Framed by L.A. Huffman

These two prints both feature turn of the century railroad themes, both appearing to be located in the American West. The framed example featured a track laying team and their equipment laying railroad track near Miles City, Montana, in the winter time. The lower left is marked "C.M.St.P+P TRACK LAYING OUTFIT NEAR MILES CITY, 1908", and the lower right has the L.A. Huffman copyright and "232B". The other print is attached to card stock that has a faint marking at the bottom, likely that of the studio that produced it, which appears to give the location as North Dakota. The print shows a large crown of people standing around a derailed train. L.A. Huffman became one of the legendary photographers of the American West by photographing all aspects of life there, with this piece being a prime example.

Very good, both of the prints have distinct images and some scattered light wear. The frame and card stock are both fine with some mild handling/storage wear.
