Photograph of a drawing depicting vaqueros roping a steer at the mission San Jose de Guadalupe, ca.1849. A man clothed in bolero dress with a bandana tied around his head is pictured rearing back on his horse in the foreground, swinging his lasso behind him, while a second horseman leans his horse to the right, having already roped the feet of the steer between them. Cows are visible in the left background, with the mission buildings visible in the right background in front of mountains. Grass is pictured in the extreme foreground.
