Sam Haskin's cult sixties photo book. Cowboy Kate has a photographic narrative in which eroticism meets the Wild West. In the main story Kate, a frequently-nude cow girl, is caught up in a Western plot that mirrors the movies of the genre, albeit with slightly more nudity. The book is now a classic and reflects the loosening of sexual mores and the freedom of the Swinging Sixties. [Hasselblad. The Open Book. p.210-11; Bortolotti.
