Western Americana Postcards Showing Female Riders Rodeo Performers and Cowgirls Across Early Twentieth Century Visual Culture

1890212411890. Archive of illustrated and photographic postcards documenting the popular image of the American cowgirl in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Western visual culture. Working in Cultural / Representational Mode the material traces how women participating in rodeo equestrian performance and frontier-themed entertainment were presented to mass audiences during a period when gender conventions in the United States remained heavily tied to domestic ideals. The postcards illustrate popular fascination with female riders engaged in activities associated with masculine frontier labor and spectacle including trick riding roping horse handling and armed performance. The archive also provides insight into the commercialization of the American West through souvenir imagery touring exhibitions rodeos and romanticized frontier iconography circulated through postcard publishing during the first half of the twentieth century.<br /> Collection consists of 19 postcards dating from approximately the 1890s through the 1950s including primarily colored lithograph and chromolithograph postcards alongside several later colored real photo postcards. Most measure approximately 3.5 x 5.25 inches. Images depict cowgirls mounted on horseback using lassoes pistols and whips in staged action scenes including bucking galloping roping demonstrations and parade formations. Earlier cards portray women riders wearing skirts or dresses while mounted reflecting transitional equestrian fashions prior to the widespread normalization of riding trousers for women during the 1920s. One postcard depicts a "Grand Entry" scene featuring numerous mounted cowboys and cowgirls carrying national flags from various countries suggesting an international rodeo or exhibition setting. Another early color postcard shows a man and woman posed together on horseback in cowboy attire. A postcard postmarked 1951 depicts a cowgirl tending to her horse and bears the handwritten verso inscription: "How we long for you in Fort Worth horses and more horses cowgirls too" addressed to Alabama. Several additional cards contain handwritten correspondence and postal markings dated between 1906 and 1908.<br /> The archive documents the enduring cultural construction of the cowgirl as both frontier laborer and commercial entertainment figure during the height of Western Americana imagery in American popular culture. The postcards capture changing attitudes toward women's athleticism mobility and public performance while preserving highly stylized depictions disseminated through inexpensive mass-produced print media. Particularly notable is the tension visible between conventional feminine presentation and physically demanding equestrian activity especially in the earlier cards depicting women riding aggressively while still dressed in skirts and formal attire. Minor edgewear scattered markings and light handling wear to some cards; overall very good condition. A cohesive visual archive of cowgirl imagery and the gendered mythology of the American West across more than half a century of postcard production. unknown

First edition inscribed of this rare and excellent association copy of Wells’ informative early history of the early exploration by Euro-Caucasians into the Pacific Northwest from the 16th-Century forward; the impact and spread of the fur trade through the Oregon Country; the formation of the Oregon Territory and the multiple military conflicts with native Americans up to the Modoc War in 1855-1856. Appended at the front rather than a table of contents is a detailed and comprehensive 11 pp. index offering an essential reference tool in exploring the work. In this particular copy J. Horner has frequently made corrections crossed out passages updated information and dates and provided MS brackets in pencil and ink to emphasize certain sections. Captain Wells 1854-1940 had been hired as editor for West Shore magazine in 1883 and largely changed the focus of this pioneering magazine from a literary feature to stories and supplements that highlighted the Pacific Northwest’s industries communities resources and their importance to attract new settlers investors and tourists. His drive as well to expand the magazine and lavish woodcut and lithograph engravings also strained the company’s finances forcing the West Shore into reorganization in 1890-1891.
