EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases a historic poster for the legendary Buffalo Bills Wild West Show, which ran from 1846 to 1917. The poster prominently features the iconic Annie Oakley, known as "Little Sure Shot" who mesmerized audiences with her exceptional marksmanship skills. In this c. 1899 colour lithograph by the American School of the 19th century, Annie Oakley stands tall in a full-length portrait, exuding confidence and grace. Dressed in traditional Western attire, complete with a Stetson hat and rifle in hand, she epitomizes the spirit of an entertainer from the Old West. As one of the headliners of Buffalo Bill's show, Oakley's talent as a sharpshooter took center stage. Her remarkable abilities drew crowds from far and wide to witness her incredible shooting prowess firsthand. This promotional artwork captures both her skillful marksmanship and magnetic presence. The poster also bears mention of Congress and Rough Riders of the World - additional attractions that were part of this traveling show's lineup. It serves as a testament to Buffalo Bill Cody's vision for creating an all-encompassing entertainment experience that showcased various aspects of life in the American frontier. Preserved within a private collection today, this image offers us a glimpse into an era when cowgirls like Annie Oakley challenged gender norms while captivating audiences with their daring performances. It is not just an advertisement; it represents an enduring symbol of female empowerment during America's Wild
