Description
|
|
|
|
This sweetly evocative collection of 120 vintage photographs of children and ponies captures a moment when it seems that all it took for a child to attain sheer joy was the patient presence of a shaggy Shetland and a borrowed cowboy hat. Spanning 1880 to 1960, the images—in sepia tones or faded colors—chronicle the use of ponies as props in children's portraiture, along with the development of photography and the popularity of keepsake photos. Victoria Randall, "a horse-crazy little girl who grew up to be the executive director of the Eureka Theatre in San Francisco" and a historian of antique equine art, presents her favorite images from her collection.
