Item description from seller

COLORADO SPRINGS FLOWER CARNIVAL FESTIVAL, 1898, original lithograph, Pueblo Litho. Co., Thomas C. and Anne Parrish, artists Original 1898 advertising lithograph was influenced by the Thomas C. and Anne Parrish Art School for the Colorado Springs*, Colorado city-wide Flower Carnival festival. D. V. Donaldson, Secretary of the Colorado Springs Mining Stock Association, was the driving force behind this illustrious festival. The idea originated in as Sunflower Day, 1891 – 1892, and over the years evolved into the Colorado Springs Flower Carnival Festival where floats from all over Colorado participated in the parades. In the 1898 Festival, there was a masquerade ball at the Broadmoor Casino (owned by County James Pourtales), a Flower Society Circus, Santa Clara Indian Day, horse-racing, and many other events. Overall, this lithograph is very good plus condition, benefitting from some conservation work on the back of this thick-paper lithograph. There are several repaired tears, some light staining here and there, and a few tiny patches (mostly nail-hole diameter); however, generally the colors are still vibrant, the paper still strong and pliable, and integrity vastly intact. Exceptional for having been used as insulation for over a century! Lithograph dimensions: 38 inches by 25 inches; thick-bond paper. Unframed. PUEBLO LITHO.
