A black-and-white photographic postcard titled “’MAUD’ WYOMING STATE FAIR DOUGLAS 1910.” The image depicts a track at the 1910 Wyoming State Fair. At the center of the track is a bucking mule and a man who has been thrown off and captured mid-fall. Several other men, dressed in western wear, race towards the falling man from all directions. The track is lined with a fence rail on the right. Behind the railing is a large group of male onlookers on horseback. The men are all in western wear with brimmed hats. In the front left foreground, also behind the rail, are two male onlookers standing with their arms resting on the rail and their heads turned towards the mule. In the background on the left, is a short white fence that ends at another fence rail. Behind the fence rail is another large group of onlookers standing and on horseback.
