Mrs Padfields Famous Horse Dive Vintage Photograph

Mrs Padfields Famous Horse Dive Vintage Photograph - Wow! This photograph was taken in 1905. Mrs. Padfield's famous horse dive in Pueblo, Colorado. An extraordinary side show that had to be a mesmerizing experience. Can you imagine getting on the back of a horse and having him jump off that far into water?? A couple of men that use to dive with the horses actually dubbed themselves the name of Diving Jackasses! The diving horses exhibit was stopped in 1978 and the animal protection society rescued the last few horses that were left.

A stroll through the late 19th and 20th century - the people, their struggle, their play, and their time in between. A mosaic of images depicting those hard and eventful years of our grandparents and great grandparents, presented, as they would appear back in those rough and tumble days.

Each image is matted behind an "old" and slightly distressed frame, and put under safety plexiglass. We also offer each image unframed. A great deal of time and attention has been spent developing this collection. Some of these images show the wear of time, and some reveal to us that the art was not quite as sharp and precise as it is today. Each image does, however allow us to let our imaginations return to those earlier times of struggle, victory, ingenuity, and thrift.

So please return with us, back in time, when things were so very different. Take a glimpse at the world in which our ancestors lived. We hope you enjoy "the way we were." Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
