Two Men Posing with Cow
Image
Two men are posing with a cow in a field under trees. One of the men is sitting as if milking the cow with one hand, while he is drinking from a bottle with his other hand. The cow appears to be chewing on the elbow of the shirt of the other man who is standing on the right. Caption from A Life in Photographs and Letters, Carl & Christine Peterson, My Grandparents, "More refreshment, with a cow."
1922
