EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare artifact from the Wild West era - the Great Northern Express Co. reward poster of 1901. Crafted with lithography techniques by an anonymous American School artist, this piece is now part of a private collection. The poster's purpose was to apprehend train robbers potentially linked to the infamous Butch Cassidy and his notorious gang, known as the Wild Bunch. With its striking design and bold typography, it served as a visual warning to outlaws who dared challenge law and order in North America during that time. Offering an impressive sum of $5,000 for information leading to their capture, this reward poster reflects both the audacity of these bandits' crimes and society's determination to bring them to justice. The Old West was no stranger to such tales of crime and adventure, making this artifact all the more intriguing. Through this image, we catch a glimpse into an era defined by lawlessness and rugged individualism. It reminds us of those daring souls who roamed across states like Texas, Minnesota, St. , engraving their names in history through acts both heroic and nefarious. As we admire this relic from another time, let us not forget that even in chaos there is beauty; even in infamy there is fascination. This photograph invites us into a world where legends were born amidst gunfire and stolen fortunes – forever etched into the annals of American history.
