Description
Photograph of rodeo cowpuncher, ca.1940. A bull seems to tackle a man with the force of its front legs in the center of the image. The bull has a thick rope tied around its middle with a bow visible on one side. The man lays on his back and appears to struggle to hold onto the neck of the animal while his hat rolls away. A cloud of dust is created by the thrashing of the bull. A bleacher full of people seems to be out of focus in the background.
