Photograph of ruins of Mission La Purisima Concepcion with cowboy and cattle, ca.1887. About ten cows stand in a dry field at center, nine of them darkly colored and one light with spots. A man in a cowboy hat sits on a dark horse against the damaged, stone wall of the ruins. Small windows can still be seen in the thick walls and open fields lie over the hills in the background.
