EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare and intriguing artifact from the Wild West era - a reward poster for none other than Billy the Kid. The lithograph, created by an anonymous American artist in the 19th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the criminal underworld of North America during that time. Billy the Kid, also known as Henry McCarty or William Henry Bonney, was one of the most notorious outlaws of his time. This reward poster reveals just how desperate authorities were to capture him, with a hefty price of five thousand dollars placed on his head. The typography used in this engraving adds an air of authenticity and urgency to this historical document. The image transports us back to an era when manhunts and bounties were common occurrences in America's Old West. It serves as a reminder of the lawlessness that prevailed during those times and highlights both the fear and fascination surrounding figures like Billy the Kid. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Peter Newark Western Americana's private collection, we can't help but marvel at its historical significance. It stands as a testament to our enduring fascination with crime stories and our desire to uncover tales from America's wild frontier.
