Beschreibung:

Lot of four includes three women and one man. One double cdv frame holds two cards, each with a well-dressed woman standing beside photographer's props. Neither card has any photographer's identification. The thermoplastic frame has cracks on the bottom part (larger on the left, but there is a small one on the right frame). Second image is of an African American cowboy, standing by his horse, wearing sheep-skin chaps, neckerchief, with a pistol tucked in his wide belt. His hat almost appears to be army issue from around WWI (1911-). (Possibly a former cavalry member at home on horseback? Wish we knew who he was.) Last is an oval 3.5 x 5 in. outdoor image of a woman in her "Sunday best," with embroidered blouse, standing by a wicker chair. Mounted on 6 x 9 in. heavy card. Condition: Mounts with some corner chipping, minor water stains, handling wear.
