Postcard of a man posing in a Western scene in a photography studio, early 20th century
This real photo postcard depicts a man in a cowboy costume posing with a fake horse. He is standing to the right of the horse and is wearing a long-sleeve shirt, pants, fur chaps, a hat and a scarf around his neck. His right arm is resting on the horses saddle. The backdrop behind him depicts a nature scene. The base of the fake horse and the floor of the photo studio are visible at the bottom of the image. The image is oriented in the bottom left corner of the postcard, leaving blank space at the top and on the right side. On the back of the postcard the word [POST CARD] is printed at the top. The words [CORRESPONDENCE HERE] and [NAME AND ADDRESS] divide the back into two sections. Text marks the spot for postage in the top right corner.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 20th century transports us back to a time when the Wild West was still alive in people's imaginations. The postcard features an unknown man striking a pose in a photography studio, dressed head to toe as a cowboy. Standing confidently to the right of a fake horse, he exudes rugged charm and adventure. The attention to detail is remarkable; his attire includes a long-sleeve shirt, pants, fur chaps, and a hat that completes his authentic Western look. A scarf casually draped around his neck adds an extra touch of style. With his right arm resting on the saddle of the faux steed, he appears ready for any challenge that may come his way. The backdrop behind him showcases nature's beauty with its picturesque scene. From mountains to rolling hills and lush greenery, it creates an illusion of being out in the open range rather than within the confines of a studio. Turning our attention to the postcard itself, we observe its vintage charm on both sides. The front captures this timeless moment frozen in time while leaving blank space at the top and right side for personal messages or notes. On the backside are printed instructions for correspondence and spaces designated for name/address details and postage placement. Although we may not know who captured this incredible image or why it was taken – whether as personal memento or professional endeavor – one thing is certain: it serves as an enduring testament to our fascination with cowboys and their legendary spirit of adventure during that era.
