John G. Bullock

Artist, American, 1854 - 1939

Six people sit or stand in the shade of a porch on a building off a dirt road in this horizontal black and white photograph. A saddled white horse stands next to a hitching post near a tree with a sprawling canopy to our right. A man smoking a pipe on the porch sits under a paper bulletin curling away from where it was posted on the wall behind him. Three children sit near some steps perhaps playing a game. An upside-down horseshoe hangs on the horizontal siding to our left. Wood boxes, a barrel, and other equipment are piled nearby.
