Photoprint of a watercolor of Leadville, Colorado's Tabor Opera House scenery. The painting depicts a mountain scene with a winding road along a river and a waterfall in the background. In December, 1933, a group of students, a former Tabor stage manager, and professors 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.
