About This Item
n.p.: n.p., 1910. Soft cover. Near Fine. This real photo post card (RPPC) of an unidentified mounted cowboy has a classic look it to it, and he is well appointed, as is his horse. This is a generic divided back post card with no stamp block. On the back of the card, hand-printed in pencil, is a family name we can't quite make sense of, plus a bit of other information: (FAMILY) / EAGLE RIVER / WI / CIRCA 1910 / PHOTO FROM WEST" We presume from the modern abbreviation of Wisconsin that it is a modern description by someone who knew the family or in some was connected. Eagle River is up in the Northwoods not far from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Slight toning on the back and the photo is quite sharp and correctly exposed. We are providing a close-up of the revolver and holster. We think we know the maker of the firearm, but not being experts in this will refrain from saying. There will likely be plenty of lookers who can identify it. Although this card is unstamped and therefore unmailed, it could be that it was mailed in an envelope to folks back home who would be impressed with him. "Doesn't our boy look like a real cowboy?" Perhaps he, indeed, was!
