Shirley Gatewood performs in the rodeo with her horse: Lakeland, Florida

from Florida Memory

• monkeyfinger said:

  If this is 5x4 inches, does that mean it is a contact print? Interesting shot from a large format camera, if so...

• Florida Memory said:

  Thank you for your question, monkeyfinger. According to the photo archivist for the State Archives of Florida, when the prints of that time period (1940s) came to the Archives from the Department of Commerce they were mounted on a card with information about each photo. The original negatives were 4x5, and the contact print was made directly from the negative. Hope that helps.

• monkeyfinger said:

  Thank you for your answer. I suppose most press cameras from that era were still 5x4. This is a wonderful image.

Tying a ribbon on a calf's tail was one of the feature attractions at the Pie Town, New Mexico Fair rodeo (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Donovan Beeson said:

  www.smithsonianmag.com/history-archaeology/pietown.html?c... Great article with the history of Pie Town inspired by these photographs. There is still a children's game at some rodeos where a gaggle of kids tries to either tie on or remove a ribbon from a calf's tale.

Mildred Douglas Riding Wild Steer

from SMU Libraries Digital Collections

• DHR2007 said:

  Mildred Douglas was born in 1895 therefore this photo probably was taken in 1915.

• SMU Libraries Digital Collections said:

  DHR2007 Thank you for your interest! We did some research and found that the photograph is actually from circa 1917, so you were definitely close with your approximation. As a result, we have updated our records accordingly on here and on our main site. Thank you again for all your help and feedback on this matter!
