This picture is a painting by William Ranney's Advice on the prairie. it depicts a group, which looks to be a family travelling to the West in a rounded wagon which are typical of Western movies. The scene is of the group of people taking a break during their journey. It is a classical historic picture of the movement to the west.
This photograph shows real cowboys, who were mostly blacks and mexicans, who didn't lead glamorous lives, saving the day, saving damsels in distress and starting bar brawls. In the picture the cowboys look solemn and seem to be taking a break from herding cattle also.
