| Summary | Men in suits and men in vests with hats sit at three gaming tables in a saloon backroom in Leadville, Colorado. Stacks of poker chips and a roulette wheel sit on tables. Several men gather at the bar room door. A saloonkeeper with a long white apron and jacket carries a tray of glasses. A cast iron stove with a pipe is in the center foreground. On the ceiling and above the wainscoting is Victorian wallpaper with framed paintings hanging out from the walls on wires on nails. Coats are piled on top of wooden cabinets against the far wall and a step ladder is in the left corner. Slot machines are through the door to the bar. A spittoon and wood stools are under the roulette table and the wooden floor is soiled. Hanging electric lights with broad shades light gaming tables; a central chandelier with tulip glass shades provides general lighting. |
