1890ref. 202841890. Photographers unknown. African American cowboy photographs late 19th century. These images document Black participation in ranching and frontier life in the decades following emancipation when a significant proportion of working cowboys in the American West were African American. The photographs record both labor and self-presentation through an outdoor riding scene and a formal studio portrait providing evidence of how Black men and youth engaged with western occupations mobility and dress during a period when new economic opportunities emerged alongside persistent racial constraints. The material supports research into African American labor history western expansion and the social formation of Black life in the post-Civil War United States. Two photographs comprising one albumen print and one tintype each approximately 2.5 x 3.5 inches. The albumen image depicts a young African American boy mounted on a bucking horse holding a cowboy hat and riding crop dressed in a buttoned shirt trousers and lace-up boots; a tipi structure is visible in the background situating the scene within a western or plains environment. The tintype presents a studio portrait of a young African American man wearing a striped three-piece suit and a wide-brimmed hat associated with late nineteenth-century western fashion indicating the circulation of frontier dress within formal portrait settings. Together the images contrast lived outdoor activity with constructed studio identity documenting both labor and presentation. These photographs align with broader patterns of African American migration and employment in the American West after the American Civil War when formerly enslaved individuals sought work in ranching cattle driving and related trades. Historians have noted that a substantial number of cowboys in the late nineteenth century were Black though their presence has often been underrepresented in popular narratives of the West. Visual documentation of African American riders and western dress provides primary evidence for the study of labor identity and mobility in this period particularly in relation to how individuals navigated new economic roles following emancipation. Minor corrosion affecting a portion of one image primarily in a blank area; remaining details clear and legible. Overall very good condition. unknown books
1947ref. 423928Billings Montana 1947. Hardcover. Near Fine. Small quarto measuring 7.5" x 9.5". Carved wooden boards with "Montana" and a cowboy on a horse carved on the front board. Contains 104 sepia-toned or black and white gelatin silver photographs measuring between 2" x 3" and 5.5" x 7.5" with captions. Some tidemarks on the page edges not affecting the photographs thus very good with near fine photographs. A photo album kept by Margaret Gilbert while visiting a ranch in Billings Montana beginning in 1947. The album begins with a note saying that the marquetry hardwood album cover was made by "Cowboy 'Phil' Brady who died 6-14-47." It's followed by the handwritten title "Pictures from Billings Montana." The photos open with women at the Red Lodge in Montana showing them posed by a snow covered river. Other photos show women hiking in western clothing and posed around the Montana landscape. They attend a "Western Parade" with a paddy wagon rides waving to the crowd and men waving American flags. One color photo shows a woman "pitching alfalfa hay" others show the ranch animals including a cat named "Squeaky" and a dog named "Shep" around the grounds. Margaret photographed the Billings rodeo with images of the riders parading into the arena action shots of riders on bucking horses and cattle rustling. Later photos show another parade which featured the "Budweiser Horses." It appears from some later photos laid in that this Montana trip happened regularly and more recent photographs show an older Margaret returning to Billings. An interesting collection of images depicting a woman's involvement in Rodeo culture in Montana in the late 1940s. hardcover books
