With a wry caption that only the golden age of American rodeo could produce, this vivid linen postcard freezes a genuinely hair-raising moment: a massive brown-and-white Brahma bull — flank strap swinging its bell, horns gleaming pale blue — lunges low at a cowboy in a yellow polka-dot shirt and red-brimmed hat, the bull's head nearly at the man's knees while rodeo hands and spectators look on from the fence in the hazy background. The caption reads "Brahma Bull tickling George Mills," a cheerfully euphemistic bit of rodeo showmanship that names the cowboy, likely a well-known rodeo performer of the era, making this card a genuine piece of named-athlete Western Americana. Published by R. H. Doubleday and copyrighted (CB M2056), it was mailed from Spokane, Washington, on July 29, 1951, by a woman named Minnie to her friend Betty — more precisely, to Mrs. George G. Garrett at 2828 Serena Road, Santa Barbara, California. Minnie's breezy, hand-written message covers the entire address side, recounting an annual western tour: blistering heat in Montana with snow visible on surrounding peaks, breathtaking scenery improving "with each passing mile," hopes to reach Seattle that night, possible side trip to Alaska by boat and rail returning by Greyhound, and a buoyant sign-off: "Then California here we come. Love Minnie." A genuinely charming social document of postwar American road travel.
