*Lassoing wild horses* shows a rider working to rope a free-roaming horse, a task that was common across the open range of the American West as ranch hands gathered mustangs for breaking and sale. The shelflist card associated with the picture names W. W. Rice, but the record does not confirm him as the maker and gives no date, so the exact time and place remain uncertain. Images like this often mixed documentation with the romantic myth of the cowboy, so it is worth looking closely at the rider's gear, the terrain, and how the animals are moving to judge how much of the scene reflects real work.
