Antique Bovine Photograph Album from Early 1900s
Here we have a killer piece of Minnesota bovine history. It's a photography album from the early 1900s full of real photos, prints, and trade magazine cutouts of top of the line livestock. I was told this comes out of an estate linked to James J. Hill, the railroad mogul who also ran model experimental farms in Minnesota to develop superior livestock. This appears to be a ledger of trophy cattle, both owned by the farm(s) and possibly by other players in the game. The contents look to span the turn of the century to the 1930s. Check out the killer old mens workwear on the farm worker. And don't miss the Model T in the background one of the pictured photographs. Let's dive ride into the contents:- 29 real photographs or photograph prints of various sizes. - 147 trade magazine cutouts of various sizes. - 3 additional magazine cutouts, one of a horse, and two of sheep. - The crown jewel (opinion of yours truly) is the 8 1/2" x 6" photograph by H.A. Strohmeyer of the white cow (see pic). O
