1920s TRANSPORTATION
|
The first
automobile show in Grand Junction was in May, 1926. It was in the Lincoln
Park Auditorium (later mistakenly called the Barn ). Some familiar cars are
shown. The Ford, Lincoln, Chevrolet, Dodge, and Buick brands are still with
us. Hudson, Nash, Studebaker, and Willys were large manufacturers of the
time, but exist no more. (Dean Studio Photo) |

When it came to the hundreds of photographs selected for the Grand Junction History in Pictures web site, there was no such thing as 'one size fits all,' and the above picture is a perfect example. Long and narrow, the entire picture could only be scanned using a large, commercial scanner, which was not available for the project. A full-size professional photograph could be taken, but since budget considerations had to be taken into account, Vicki Felmlee of TCS Marketing Group, Inc., decided to scan the two ends of the picture at a very high resolution. Using Adobe Photoshop, she carefully spliced the two pictures together using the original as a guide. Can you see the splice? If you can't, but want to know where it is, visit the Research Library of the Museum of Western Colorado to see the original! |
