Framed Original Photograph by Harvey Caplin Cowboys Playing Poker At Bell Ranch For Sale

Vintage photograph by American photographer Harvey Caplin (1914 -1984) depicting cowboys playing poker at Bell Ranch. The photo bears a signature at the lower right "Harvey Caplin” and likely datable to the mid Twentieth Century - or after. The reverse with a biography of the artist and information and a card from "Traditions of the Southwest" a gallery selling the artist work which states “Photo Archives of the Southwest by Harvey Caplin 1914 - 1984)". The photo is matted and framed - with a decorative motif of playing cards and poker chips and is in very good condition.

Harvey Caplin was brought up in Rochester NY majoring in photography at Rochester Institute of Technology and later working for the military in New Mexico. He later worked on Bell Ranch (Tucumcari New Mexico) taking photographs of the landscape and cowboys.

Minor flaw: white spot that is maybe paint splatter on the frame. See last photo.
