EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant postcard from 1900 captures a lively scene of cowboys engrossed in a game of shooting craps. The colour litho print brings to life the spirit and energy of the Wild West, showcasing an iconic moment in American history. In this image, we see several cowboys kneeling around a makeshift gambling table, eagerly throwing dice and placing bets. Each player is fully immersed in the competition, their expressions reflecting both concentration and anticipation. Spectators watch intently from the sidelines, adding to the atmosphere of excitement. The postcard not only portrays a thrilling game but also offers insights into leisure activities during that era on the frontier. It provides us with a glimpse into how cowboys spent their free time amidst rugged landscapes and vast open spaces. The composition showcases elements synonymous with America's old west: cowboy hats, wild-west attire, and dusty surroundings. This snapshot encapsulates the essence of camaraderie amongst these men as they engage in friendly rivalry. As we admire this piece of Americana captured through coloured photography, it serves as a reminder of our country's rich cultural heritage. It symbolizes an era when games were played for pure enjoyment rather than commercial gain. Overall, this image invites us to step back in time and witness firsthand one aspect of cowboy life - where skill met chance on the untamed frontiers of North America.
