This carte de visite photograph features a handsome man with a full wirey beard. He has piercing eyes. Writing on the reverse of the cdv identifies the gentleman as “Timothy Borden (Barden?). The photographer of this photograph is Charles Bohm of Denver, Colorado. His studio was located at 284 Fifteenth Street. He is cited in a number of sources as the former employer of Frank Albert Rinehart (1861-1928) who became a famous American artist for his photography capturing Native American personalities and scenes. To view the work of Alfred Edward Rinehart, Frank’s brother, click on the category “Photographer: Rinehart”. Charles Bohm was an engraver, a jeweler and a real estate developer. He was born in Germany in 1846 and his family came to the United States to escape the democratic revolution of 1848. For many years the Bohm family lived in New Jersey where he became an apprentice in a design and engraving business. After a two year trip to Denver, he returned to New York where he designed copper plates, illustrated magazines, and organized the Palette Art Club. In 1872 he moved back to Denver and established a business offering design, engraving and photographic portraiture. He was active in Denver society and was a trustee for the water company and the library. Apparently, he loved speed and was involved in racing cars, horses and sleds. SOLD
THE CABINET CARD GALLERY 
Hello! I’m doing some research on Charles Bohm to support a landmark application for his home in Denver. I’d love to use some of this info but would need the sources. Can you reach out if you see this comment soon?
Thanks!
I am sorry but I do not keep a list of my sources for each photograph I enter into the Cabinet Card Gallery. Sometimes I will cite my source, but not near enough. All the information about Bohm was found by doing research on the internet. Good luck in your quest to have Boehm’s home named as a historic landmark.
