Fancy Cow and Calf

Fancy Cow and Calf
Mama cow and baby calf seem to be giving the photographer a sideways glance as the farmer and his family hold them in place to pose for the camera. See a cropped version for a close-up of the disgruntled bovines.

The decorative mask--with its stylized flowers and curled-up edges--gives the appearance of a fancy photo frame. For a similar real photo postcard, see Man's Portrait in Elaborate Border.

Oh my gosh, that's wonderful! The decorative border is lovely - and what a charming photograph!
It seems unusual to me - I think I've only seen the scroll- type borders with close up portraits.
I love it!

Thanks, Deborah! I agree that a portrait with this type of border is more typical. Another real photo postcard with an unusual subject (toddler in the yard) and border (in this case, a smaller, shield-shaped image surrounded by patriotic artwork) is this one:

Sweet! Looks like a bovine mother and daughter *and* human mother and daughter. Definitely a fancy treatment for this subject.
