4" tall x 6" wide photograph of a display in the Rustic Bar in Saratoga, Wyoming. White border 7/16" wide on top and bottom, 1/8" wide on sides.
Image shows mounted squirrels and other small animals in an area decorated to be a to-scale bar for the animals. On the left wall, there is a small fake deer head on the wall, as well as a calendar. On the wall behind the bar are two rows of tiny fake mounted fish, 4 fish on top, 3 fish on th second row. The head of another fake deer peeks into frame from the right wall. Between the two rows of fish is a small wooden sign saying "Your Always Welcome". Below the second row of fish are three signs - a "No Minors Served Here" sign, a small illegible black sign, and a "Miller High Life" sign.
Two squirrels work behind the bar, one wiping it down with a white cloth. The bar back has various tiny bottles of alcohol and glasses, and is backed with mirror. The bar itself has a shiny red top and a red leather front. 5 red-seated stools are in front of the bar, with spitoons on the floor on both sides of the secod from the right. A white ermine (?) stands face-to-face with a squirrel, grasping each other over the left-most stool. A Squirrel sits in the second stool, leaning over the bar. Another squirrel stands to his right, holding a 'fish'. Between the third and fourth stools from the right, a squirrel stands, legs crossed, left 'arm' resting on the bar, leaning back on the bar. A squirrel sits on the right-most stool, with another squirrel to his right with an arm on his back. The squirrel on the right has several glasses around him.
On the bottom left of the picture is printed in black "Rustic Bar, Saratoga, Wyoming". On the back is printed "Rustic Bar, Saratoga, Wyoming 82331 Ordered at Shutterfly (shutterfly.com)". The picture is lightly bent down the middle horizontally.Collection
