Antique Photograph of a Man Wearing a Top Hat Riding a Horse

 
Antique Photograph of a Man Wearing a Top Hat Riding a Horse

This is an antique cabinet photograph of a man wearing a top hat
while riding a horse.

Cabinet photographs are dated about 1860's to 1930's.
They were mounted on heavy card-stock.
(this one is dated about 1890's)

They are called "cabinet photographs" because;
when photography was still somewhat new,
people displayed photographs in cabinets
(mostly in parlors of wealthy home owners).

This Playing Card features a man in court dress holding a staff, a sword, and a pike.

I guess he's ready for any challenge of authority.
He bangs Staff on floor while saying "You go no further, Dude"
He puts Pike in face "Do you really want to try that?"
He draws Sword "You're Dead Dude"

Butcher delivering meat on horseback

 

Butcher delivering meat on horseback

 I'm curious why the butcher's horse has no tail hair.
Maybe the horse stays in a small stall.
Maybe the horse wore it off slapping at flies.
The saddle rack for carrying meat is also interesting.
It appears to be designed so the butcher doesn't have to dismount to make a meat delivery.
It is probably in front of him so he can protect it from any dogs that might want a free sample :)

You can make something similar to this if an image has a good outline.

First Convert a picture to black and white. 

Then try alternatively using the Paint Bucket Tool, the Eraser Tool, and the Pencil Tool until you get a crisp outline.

 When you choose the eraser and pencil tools pick options with crisp edges and put the opacity at 100 percent.
