Nostalgia & History > Cripple Creek, Colorado

I am still looking for information on Alexander McLean.

The Pikes Peak Library District, Colorado Springs, has photograph archives.

I did a Keyword search of the archives for Cripple Creek and got 400 photos.

Picture 1, “Travel in Cripple Creek. Creator/Photographer: Harlan, Andrew James. Year: between 1891 & 1893. Collection: Rare Photograph Collection. Image Number: 353-11132.jpg.

The Pikes Peak Library District does not have Zoom enlargement. I attempted to enlarge the photo with the Paint program but the picture becomes blurry.

Has anyone had experience with Genuine Fractals, SI Pro, or any other software for the enlargement of digital photos?

Picture 2 is picture 1 enlarged and cut with the Paint program.
