EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Wild West and its legendary cowboys. Titled "Life And Adventures Of The American Cow-Boy Cowboy" it features the title page of a book published in 1897 by Clark Stanley, also known as the Rattle-Snake King. This publication played a significant role in shaping the mythos surrounding America's frontier. Stanley claimed to have acquired secret knowledge of snake oil medicine from a Hopi medicine man, which he used to create his own patent concoction called Snake Oil Liniment. This product brought him considerable wealth until it was exposed as worthless after the introduction of the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906. The central figure on this print is believed to be none other than Clark Stanley himself, depicted fearlessly riding a bucking bronco. As an author, entrepreneur, and self-proclaimed cowboy, Stanley embodied both the allure and deception associated with that era. With its vintage charm and historical significance, this wall art makes for an intriguing addition to any decor. The intricate illustration showcases not only an important chapter in American history but also serves as a reminder of how legends can be born out of dubious claims. Ken Welsh's expertly captured engraving transports us back to a time when adventure and uncertainty defined life in America's untamed West.
