DescriptionA black and white postcard of a man relaxing on the ground near a herd of sheep. The sheep are grazing in an open range. The back of the postcard mentions that this photo was titled "Navajo Shepherd" and was part of a photo-mural in the coffee shop of the Hilton Hotel in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A note on the back reads, "This looks to me like a pleasant life - let's try it - I imagine no problem will or would be unsolvble [sic]."
