Six embossed chromolithograph postcards depicting cowgirls on horseback firing guns, lassoing, and galloping. One of the six postcards depicts a cowboy with a lasso. The postcards are vibrantly colored and show a cowgirl with long hair and a skirt, donning bandoliers, rifles, and pistols. Wild horses and cattle are featured in the background. One postcard features a cowgirl firing her revolver with a muzzle flash emitting from the pistol as the horse rears back. Embossed chromolithographs were popular in the late 19th century. The postcards in this collection were created circa the 1890s.
