Afternoon Rendezvous, 1939 Watson Cross Jr. including the Metropolitan Museum ofA California fine art gicle print on premium watercolor paper. A wonderful scene from rural California in the 30's. You are not likely to see bareback riding on a ranch today though. It is hard to tell whether the old car was still in use or not. In my childhood I can remember scenes like this. Even then, in the 40's & 50's it was not uncommon for ranchers to have old cars like this that they used on ranches in California. Courtesy of son, Ian Patrick
