Photograph
8 in x 10 in / 20.3 x 25.4 cm
Provenance: Private collection, Belen, NM
This 1900 photograph shows a group of cowboys on horseback in Liberal, Kansas, arranged in a wide line across open ground. The image records Plains ranching culture at the turn of the twentieth century, with riders, horses, hats, ropes, and working gear clearly visible. The handwritten date and place notation give the photograph useful regional context.
The composition is direct and informal, presenting the riders as a working group rather than as a studio arrangement. Its broad horizontal format gives space to the horses and open landscape, reinforcing the Plains setting. As a Kansas cowboy photograph, it fits within American West material, ranching history, and early twentieth-century Western photography.
