The Life and Adventures of Buffalo Bill (Pawnee
Bill Film Co., 1912). One Sheet (28" X 42.5"). In the early
1900s Walter Barnsdale started a "traveling moving picture show"
company that played at carnivals and circuses. Presenting more than
100 reels of films projected with some of the best lighting
equipment available (run by an electric generator), Barnsdale
brought the show to people who couldn't get to the city. The
Life and Adventures of Buffalo Bill was one of several films
that he showcased that starred the legendary William F. Cody. This
is a gorgeous stone litho poster done by Riverside Litho of
Milwaukee. It has numerous vignettes of cowboys performing various
tasks, highlighted by a cowgirl in the central medallion roping a
steer. The image of the cowgirl was likely based on the real life
Lucille Mulhall. It is framed by a colorful design copied from
Indian blankets. It has been mounted on linen and is in excellent
condition.
NOTE Item will be shipped in a heavy duty hard tube. I would recommend insurance so please ask before paying invoice.
