Inriguing old celluloid photo of a western cow boy or Spanish American War soldier. I am not sure which. He appears to be pointing afar or painting an unseen picture, with gesturing out streched arm. Black border of a mourning and shadow yet dream like image. So interesting. Any guesses?

The Independent Order of Foresters is one of the world’s oldest and largest fraternal benefit societies with over one million members. The IOF Foresters is international in scope with the majority of its members located in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. The IOF Foresters sells a wide range of life insurance, and annuity products.History of the Foresters. The concept of Forestry originated hundreds of years ago when people voluntarily formed groups called Friendly Societies to provide help for one another in times of distress. Based on the spirit of brotherhood, each family contributed to a fund from which they could draw when an emergency arose.
In 1874 at Newark, New Jersey, a group of people carrying on these traditions of mutual aid and fraternity started The Independent Order of Foresters.
This rare image from the early days of forestry is vibrant and in very fine condition.Fraternal organization.
