This bucolic pictorial study which may date to as early as 1917 based on similarly matted and signed examples by Ohio amateur photographer Elizabeth G. Stoltz shows a group of cows heading back to their farmstead after a day spent  at pasture. The secondary mount verso is stamped with a Buffalo, New York National Salon hand-stamp with inset stylized monogram with exhibition year hand-written in red: 1923. When the Cows go Home was accepted and perhaps exhibited in the Fourth Annual Salon of Pictorial Photography under the direction of the Buffalo Camera Club which took place in Buffalo at the Albright Art Gallery from March 10-April 2, 1923.
