DENVER POLICEMAN 1880s
DENVER COP 1880s is an 8x6 signed print on heavy paper. It began with a found b&w cabinet card (in disrepair) from Denver Colorado of a cop named Arthur (or so it was written on the front) who lived at 1705 Champa St. Denver. I took the card apart and enlarged then colored Arthur and his handlebar mustache. I enlarged and reconstructed the card parts. I put Arthur on a blue sky background and added the vintage logo of Colorado from the same period (I think…) I also put the wabi-sabi seal because the original cabinet card more than qualifies as wabi-sabi. See peterjketchum.com for information about wabi-sabi and more interesting, larger work. #denverpolice #denvercop #coloradopoliceman #coloradologo #handlebarmustache #mustache #19th_century_policeman #coloradocabinetcard #ketchumart #peterketchum
