DescriptionPhoto of Dr. Fenn J Hart, Tempe's first mayor, sitting atop a dark horse with a small child named Bobby riding in front of him holding the reins (likely Robert Hart Wilson, one of Dr. Hart's grandsons). Dr. Hart is wearing a white long sleeve collar shirt with dark pants, and black riding boots, he has a white Stetson hat covering his hair, but his facial hair consists of a trim white mustache and beard. Bobby is wearing a dark cap, long sleeve collared shirt, trousers and boots. A stone wall, trees, wood and wire fence, and part of a house can be seen in the background. The photo is undated, but as photo 2023.3.62 lists Robert Hart Wilson as being born in 1915, this photo was likely taken circa 1920.
