Label TextBorn in California, Percy Ivory specialized in Western scenes. This cover captures a popular view of the American West, already the locale of sentimental myth by 1909. The implied romance of the moment, the smitten cowboy, and the pristinely-white blouse of the Gibson-Girl-like woman are typical of the glamorized veil cast over what was often a hardscrabble life.
