Kansas City-born photographer Anna M. Tweed (1869-1945) moved to Colorado Springs with her family in 1878, where Anna's father was the director of a mining company. She began pursuing photography in the mid-1890s, establishing a studio on her brother's property, Glen Cove, on Pike's Peak Carriage Road in Colorado Springs. Her specialty was local scenery printed on boudoir card mounts. Her landscape photographs were published in "At the Foot of Pike’s Peak," a collection of poems by Colorado Springs author Mrs. Lelah Palmer Morath.
