La Source Maggie with handler

La Source Maggie with handler recto: In this vintage photograph, a cow stands calmly on a patch of grass, surrounded by a few trees that suggest a rural setting. The cow is being gently held by a man who stands to its right, holding a rope attached to the cow’s harness. The photograph is displayed on a brown mat board, and there is handwritten text at the bottom, providing what appears to be the name of the cow, "La Source Maggie." The man, dressed in what looks like early 20th-century attire, including a cap and a suit, appears to be posing with the cow, which stands in profile, showing off its well-groomed appearance.
