On the page where John Henry is
in a closeup with Ferret-Faced Freddy, I was particularly impressed by
the rendition of the saddle. It really fits with the time period.
The slick forks, high saddle horn, and 3/4 rigged flat plate cinching are
absolutely accurate. The subdued colors and loose fit of the clothing
is another defining point.
