Lakeside: An American Icon

Lakeside Amusement Park in Denver was billed by ambitious investors in 1908 as the “Coney Island of the West.” This photographic artist book explores the timeless architecture, graphics, signage and neon of this once-glorious, world-famous theme park. Visitors today are surrounded by art deco buildings bathed in neon, the original, but tired 1908 carousel, and abandoned rides that are skeletons of their former glory.

Miniature version is the same as the full size version. Both are case bound in cloth. Original digital photography, archival digital printing on Mohawk Superfine paper. Miniature size 2 3/4” x 2 5/8” , 32 pages. Presented in a matching slipcase. Edition of 50. ©2002. $60
