Photoprint of a watercolor of Leadville, Colorado's Tabor Opera House original scenery. Painted by Muriel Wolle as part of her University of Colorado scenery project, the painting has four elements, each of a room interior with decorative stenciled or wall papered walls and wainscoting. In December, 1933, a group of students, professors, and a former Tabor stage manager located and set up original canvas flats and drops to document and photograph, while Wolle sketched each set and made color notes which were developed into large watercolor paintings.
