Description:
This real photo postcard depicts a man in a cowboy costume posing with a fake horse. He is standing to the right of the horse and is wearing a long-sleeve shirt, pants, fur chaps, a hat and a scarf around his neck. His right arm is resting on the horse's saddle. The backdrop behind him depicts a nature scene. The base of the fake horse and the floor of the photo studio are visible at the bottom of the image. The image is oriented in the bottom left corner of the postcard, leaving blank space at the top and on the right side. On the back of the postcard the word [POST CARD] is printed at the top. The words [CORRESPONDENCE HERE] and [NAME AND ADDRESS] divide the back into two sections. Text marks the spot for postage in the top right corner. The word [AZO] repeats forming a square with a triangle in each corner. The words [PLACE / STAMP / HERE] are printed inside the square. There are no inscriptions, front or back.
