“Did You Ever Have

Dream Like This?”


 

“When We Go After Anything We Get It.”

William H. Martin (1865-1940) Ottawa, Kansas

Silver Print postcard, 3.5 x 5.5 inches, 1909

 

One of the most animated of Martin’s photomontages, this rollicking rabbit rodeo is convincing because of its attention to detail. The sketched-in ruts beneath the car and the shadow under the humongous hare add an extra dimension of realism. In the sky to the left of the tree is a tiny flying object that appears to be a hat, carried off by the wind.
