1910 - The Last Cowboy

By this time the wild frontier of the Old West had all but faded away. In Texas, one of the last cowboys sits next to his horse and reflects on the coming age of modernity.

This picture was taken only four years prior to World War I. By this time, automobiles were becoming more commonplace, the Wright brothers had made their historic flight at Kitty Hawk, and millions of homes were being outfitted with electricity due to the working populace having shifted to urban housing during the industrial revolution. And then you have this guy, the lone cowboy and his horse on the prairie, a living relic of a dying era.
