Made very late in Wellge's career as an artist, this image of Billings [gmap], Montana shows many of his trademarks; one that stands out the most is his unique sense of rendering smoke effects from chimneys, trains, etc.

Interesting that the view he chose was looking south, not looking north towards the Rims…maybe that wasn’t as big a selling point in 1904.
