''Buffalo Bill'' Cody signed portrait of himself upon his horse with rifle in hand. The Wild West man signs in blue ink, ''W.F. Cody / 'Buffalo Bill' / To Simon B. Harris / May 26th 1911''. Original photo from the early 1900's has an Elmer Chickering blindstamp; the Chickering Studio in Boston took several well-known photos of Cody. 5.75'' x 6.5'' photo is in fine condition, matted to a size of 10'' x 11.5''. Outer edges of mat are chipped and torn, not affecting photo or signature. Writing extends past the photo onto approximately .5'' of the mat; fortunately this portion of the mat has no toning. A stunning signed image that brings the Wild West alive.
