Behind a gleaming backbar crowded with hundreds of spirit bottles, two classical nude figurines stand sentinel above the Famous Teller House Bar in Central City, Colorado — silent witnesses to a century of mining-boom mythology and Rocky Mountain revelry. The Teller House, built in 1872 during the height of Colorado's gold rush, was the grandest hotel in the Rockies, hosting President Ulysses Grant and other luminaries on its famous silver-brick walkway. By the time this Artvue chrome-era card was produced, the bar had become equally famous for its painted "Face on the Bar Room Floor" — a mysterious woman's portrait stenciled directly onto the barroom tile by artist Herndon Davis in 1936, inspired by the D'Arcy poem of the same name. The backbar's ornate Victorian woodwork, arched mirror, pendant lamps, and classical statuary speak to the aspirational grandeur of Colorado's gilded mining age. Published by Artvue Post Card Co. of 225 Fifth Avenue, New York, this card was a staple souvenir of Central City's mid-century tourism revival.
