DescriptionEdmund Cobb poses on horseback outdoors in New Mexico. He is dressed like a cowboy, with a sued cowboy hat, handkerchief around the neck, button-down long-sleeve shirt, and shin high embroidered leather boots in the saddle's stirrups. Attached to the saddle in a lasso. The hose is light colored with dark speckles all over and its mane is groomed. Edmund holds the reins with one hand and looks at the camera with a stoic expression. Edmund F Cobb is the grandson of Governor Edmund G Ross. The horse Edmond rides was named after William Pitt Fessenden of Maine, who was a friend of Governor Ross. Edmund was also the eldest of Eddie Ross Cobb and William Cobb's four children. They owned a local photography studio, Cobb Studio, spanning the turn of the nineteenth century on Gold Avenue in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico.
