EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures a piece of American history, showcasing a reward poster issued by the renowned Pinkerton National Detective Agency in 1877. The subject of this wanted poster is none other than Tom Nixon, an infamous bandit who had recently robbed a Union Pacific Train on September 18th. Notably, he was also found to be in possession of coins stolen from the San Francisco Mint earlier that year. The intricate typography boldly announces a generous $1000 reward for anyone who can aid in capturing this elusive criminal. This significant sum serves as evidence of the severity of Nixon's crimes and highlights the determination of law enforcement agencies to bring him to justice. With its wild west aesthetic and unmistakable aura of danger, this print transports viewers back to an era when outlaws roamed freely across North America. It offers us a glimpse into the thrilling world of bounty hunters and crime-fighting detectives who were dedicated to maintaining law and order during those tumultuous times. Displayed against a backdrop featuring Nebraska's vast landscapes and iconic cities like Chicago, Omaha, and Illinois, this image not only tells Nixon's story but also provides insight into the geography associated with his notorious exploits. Preserved within private collections today, this historical artifact reminds us that even in our modern age where technology reigns supreme; there is still something undeniably intriguing about old-fashioned detective work chasing down criminals on horseback through dusty towns in pursuit of justice.
