Lot Description
[WILD WEST SHOWS]. Col. W.F. Cody, "Buffalo Bill." Woodburytype. [England]: ca 1887.
3 3/4 x 5 1/2 in. woodburytype on cardstock mount (toning to image and mount, some water staining, few surface abrasions to mount, corner/edge wear to mount). Title and "Copyright / Woodburytype" printed in lower margin of mount recto.
This image, taken during Bill's 1887 tour of England and Europe, was one of a number made of Bill and other performers using the Woodburytype process. These images received relatively limited distribution in the United States, and, as a consequence, are today relatively uncommon.
