1890-1900 period of a cowboy by Academy of Art, Waco, Texas. Image is crystal clear! I believe it is not staged essentially (guns and whip MAY have been added but they appear natural enough). He wears a jacket (common western attire for the period), pants with buttons up the sides which are quite fashionable, boots and spurs, and he wears a cartridge belt with a Colt on each side; butts pointing out for cross draw. He also has a bull whip draped over his left arm. That may indicate he was a "Bull Whacker". Bull whackers were cowboys who used a whip to help move the cattle. In ink, on the back of the image, it is signed: "Yours Truly (SIC) Bart Johnson G."
