USA - Montana Cowboys have a little disagreement over cards
USA - Montana Cowboys have a little disagreement over cards. The Actors are playing it straight with Poker faces, although the cowboy on the draw is looking a little bit flush-ed. Oddly the bottle of booze remains un-opened, possibly hinting this was not quite the real deal. Date: circa 1910s

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1910s, a heated disagreement unfolds among a group of Montana cowboys as they engage in a high-stakes poker game. The tension in the air is palpable as the cowboy on the draw clenches his fists, his eyes narrowed in determination and a hint of defiance. His opponent, a seasoned gunslinger with a stoic expression, keeps his poker face, his hand poised above the table, a gun casually resting beside him. The wild and untamed spirit of the American West is captured in this image, with the rough-hewn interior of the wooden saloon serving as the backdrop to the intense scene. The air is thick with the scent of tobacco and whiskey, the only sound the soft clinking of chips and the occasional crackle of a burning cigarette. Despite the intensity of the moment, it seems that this is not quite the real deal. The bottle of whiskey remains unopened, a testament to the fact that this is likely just a friendly game among ranching colleagues. Yet, the potential for danger lurks in the air, as the cowboys' emotions run high and tempers flare. This photograph captures the essence of the American West, where the lines between work and play, friendship and rivalry, and danger and camaraderie were often blurred. The cowboys' poker faces belie the complex emotions and tensions that lay just beneath the surface, making for a captivating and intriguing scene.
