About This Item
[Photography] Erwin E. Smith. Vaquero with Pack. [Bonham, Texas]: [Erwin Smith] [Circa 1920-47] 12 x 17 cm. Stamped on back; "Copyright 1908 by Erwin E. Smith, Bonham Texas." Written in pencil on back: "Mexican with pack." One corner bend else very good.
Great image of a Mexican Vaquero on horseback, wearing leather chaps and watering his pinto cowpony. Original Smith images with his stamp are uncommon on the market. "Growing up in Bonham, Texas, Erwin Smith knew he wanted to be a cowboy and an artist. The era of great trail drives was ending, and he was determined to document the open-range lifestyle before it disappeared completely. Smith gained experience by working on ranches and studying painting and sculpting at art schools in Chicago and Boston before he realized that the photographs he used as preliminary studies were works of art themselves. Between 1905 and the mid-1920s, he photographed ranch work and life in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, producing some of the best-known images of early 20th-century cowboy activities." – Amon Carter Museum.Reviews
