Soldier, hunter, and showman, William "Buffalo Bill" Cody remains to this day one of the most famous figures from the wild days of the American West. Produced by Stacy photographers of Brooklyn, this "ivory finish" c. 1880s cabinet card captures Buffalo Bill in his prime and in full Western finery, a striking studio portrait of a true American legend. The cabinet shows only the slight wear, marred by a tiny chip to the right border, and the mounted photo contains several very fine scratches visible only upon close inspection. It measures 6-1/2 x 4-1/4 and is in (EX) condition.
