EDITORS COMMENTS
This assortment of printed memorabilia offers a glimpse into the extraordinary life of Samuel Cody, an early aviation pioneer who made his mark in both the Wild West shows and the emerging field of aviation. The largest item in this collection, measuring an impressive 29 inches by 10 inches, is a promotional poster for Cody's Wild West show, featuring an image of the dashing performer astride a horse, a six-shooter in hand, with the tagline "Reserved for the Grand Match, Samuel Cody, Klondyke Nugget." Other pieces in the archive include smaller posters and flyers advertising Cody's equestrian feats and Wild West performances. These vivid images show Cody in various poses, from riding a horse at full gallop to standing tall and proud in his cowboy attire. But Cody's story did not end with the Wild West. In the late 19th century, he became fascinated with the new technology of flight and became one of the first aviators in history. He built and flew a biplane, the "Britannia," at Farnborough, England, in 1908, predating the Wright Brothers' famous flight by several months. This collection of printed material offers a unique window into Cody's multifaceted career, showcasing his talents as a Wild West showman and an early aviation pioneer. The large, colorful posters and flyers evoke the excitement and adventure of the late 19th century, transporting us back to a time when the Wild West and the skies above were the ultimate frontiers.
