Offered is a curated gallery collection of 15 vintage 5" x 7" black-and-white livestock and dairy cattle photographs, housed in period vintage black plastic wall frames. This ready-to-hang collection captures the absolute pinnacle of mid-20th-century agricultural breeding, featuring legendary grand champions, state fair winners, and heavy-milking brood cows from Pennsylvania, Maryland, and across the Mid-Atlantic.
The collection features iconic work by the most revered master livestock and agricultural photographers of the 20th century:
Fred Wetmore (Frederick Fred Wetmore), celebrated mid-century specialist in elite dairy cattle and purebred portraiture.
Strohmeyer & Carpenter (Harry Strohmeyer and John Carpenter), the premier "celebrity photographers of the dairy world".
Danny Weaver (Daniel Danny Weaver), whose crisp breed-association compositions defined bovine conformation.
Jack Remsberg (John Homer Remsberg Jr.), the legendary agricultural documentation specialist and National Dairy Shrine inductee.
Most frames feature professional vintage identification labels on the front detailing the animal's name, lineage, production records, and show achievements (such as Pennsylvania Farm Show and Maryland State Fair grand championships).
