Set of Rodeo photographs
Each approx. 3 in x 5 in / 7.6 x 12.7 cm
Provenance: Private collection, Belen, NM
Sold as a group of three
This group of 1926 photographs documents rodeo subjects in Las Vegas, New Mexico, with inscriptions identifying Jones Photo and individual riders or events. The images include bronc riding action and a portrait of Salem Curtis at a cowboys’ reunion, placing the group within early twentieth-century Southwestern rodeo culture. Together, they record both performance and personal identity within the working and public world of New Mexico horsemanship.
The photographs are direct, informal, and documentary, with handwritten notations that add useful context to the scenes. Their small format and grouped presentation suggest they were kept as personal or event records rather than formal studio portraits. As a group, they fit within American West photography, rodeo history, and New Mexico regional material.
