Through the Lens of Leonard McCombe
On 8 May 2025, the Isle of Man Post issued a series of postage stamps "Through the Lens of Leonard McCombie". The series is dedicated to the work of the Manx native - the famous photographer Leonard McCombie. The cowboy photograph was taken by McCombie as part of a major editorial assignment for LIFE magazine. In August 1949, LIFE published a large article, “Last Look at an Old Cowboy.” Largely thanks to Leonard McCombie’s photographs, it immortalized the lifestyle of Texas cowboys, becoming a monument to this disappearing culture. |
