8 REAL PHOTO POSTCARDS by BATE STUDIO depicting PRESCOTT, ARIZONA. Undated but circa [1920’s]. Eight original real photo postcards by Bate Studio, each measuring 3-1/2 inches high by 5-1/2 inches wide, depicting scenes from the Prescott, Arizona. Frontier Days rodeo & performances. The images predominantly depict bronco riding and cattle roping, with 2 images depicting Native Americans. The postcards are each identified in white together with the name “Bate” at the bottom of the image. For the most part, the white print is very difficult to read. The postcards are also numbered as follows: 11, 21, 39, 50, 53, 54, 57, 70. There are creases to the top corners of the postcard numbered 11, and bottom corners of number 54, with minor bumping to the corners of the other postcards. There is some occasional minor soiling. The first organized rodeo was probably held in Cheyenne, Wyoming in 1872. Prescott, Arizona claims to have held the first “professional” rodeo, charging admission and awarding trophies, in 1888.
