Bareback

img_4606.JPG

This cover really stands out. It’s a hand-tinted photo. Even the label “Duarte” is written by hand. A Caballo! (Edit: “On Horseback!) by Orquesta Neno Gonzalez. The full-figured model in the leopard-skin bikini rides side-saddle and seems small in comparison to the horse. She’s posed almost the way a circus or carnival act might pose. A nice composition as the roofs come down to meet her and off to the right a hand holds the reins to lead her out of the frame. I believe that this is Mexican.
