This picture was taken in 1939, and shows a group of cowboys in camp, at the end of a hard day. I find the authentic cowboy lifestyle fascinating, and as we have discussed before, there are very few real cowboys left. I also find that there are not a whole lot of great pictures of cowboys. Too bad Edward Curtis never made a Cowboy Collection to compliment the exceptional work he did on photographing Native Americans.Thursday, January 1, 2009

Remington has done some great sculptures of cowboys in action and some paintings, but you are right, there are only a few pictures.
ReplyDeleteRemington did some wonderful drawings as well that were published over several decades in the late 1800's. The drawings were published in Harper's Weekly.
ReplyDeleteI love this picture!! Happy New year to you PJM and I look forward to my daily visits here!
