A print of a Mexican Ranchero who appears as a well-dressed figure on horseback. Thorpe describes the ranchero as having "a kind of theatrical banditti look" with a hat that "is a palmetto, of a rakish cut, covered with glazed cloth, and ornamented on the sides of the crown with silver balls" and high quality linen clothing with "pantaloons of dressed leather, ornamented with gay cord and a gross of metal buttons."[This print is from Thorpe's book "Our Army on the Rio Grande," page 134]
