: Unidentified Ethel collection

Call Number 524

Date 1915-1950

Contents 1 box.

Description This collection consists of 250 photographs and snapshots of people (mostly unidentified) and locations throughout Colorado. The title was chosen because a woman simply named "Ethel" appears in many of the photographs, often with a man named "Claude". Based upon a 1919 postcard addressed to Mrs. Herman Springer, it seems probable that Ethel is Ethel R. Springer, Herman's wife.
