Herding cattle to summer pasture   Save
Joe Munroe Archive
Description: Cattle herd crossing the American River in California as they make their way to pasture near Placerville, photographed by Joe Munroe in 1959. Herds are driven to pasture in the spring to graze during the summer, before being rounded up later in the year. Munroe's career began in 1939 at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. He served in the Air Force during World War II and then joined Cincinnati-based Farm Quarterly magazine. Though raised in Detroit, agriculture became an important subject of Joe's photographs. He moved to California in 1955 and free-lanced, taking magazine assignments and selling his own work. View on Ohio Memory.
