Hand-colored (stereotyped) engraving clipped from Harper's Weekly, a popular illustrated newspaper. It has been trimmed to focus on the printed image. The print depicts wild mustangs fleeing a wooded area where one fallen horse, which has been shot and stunned, is being trapped by two men with guns that emerge from the trees. The reverse side has a description of "Wild Horses in Texas" and explains that eastward of the Sakatcho Mountains is an area with wild mustangs and that there are three ways to catch them including walking them down, snaring, and creasing (the text is incomplete due to the trimming). "Creasing" refers to a risky method in which someone shoots a horse with a rifle in the back of the neck and graze it enough to stun the horse so that it falls down and can be tied up. [For a comprehensive version of this editorial, including a complete entry with the entire descriptive text, see: Harper's Weekly : A Journal of Civilization, Volume 12, Number 621, page 741-42.
