C1905 BUFFALO BILLS WILD WEST LARGE CABINET CARD PHOTO OF THE U S CAVALRY DRILL
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:2800005 | Provenance: Property of the Cody / Garlow Estate |
Exceptionally Rare and simply fantastic, ca1905 Buffalo Bill’s Wild West, Large Format, Card Mount Photograph of the Members of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West United States Artillery Drill Team on horseback with cannons on caissons. This Photograph was the personal property of Buffalo Bill Cody and descended directly in the Cody family to his great-granddaughter Patricia Ann "Patsy" Garlow - granddaughter of Cody's daughter Irma.
This outstanding, Oversize Car...d Mount Photograph, measures approx. 9 1/2" by 7 3/4" and is mounted on its original 14” by 11” photographer’s card mount. This Photograph, from The Cody Family collection, pictures the 18 members of the U.S. Artillery Drill Team that performed with Buffalo Bill’s Wild West during the early 20th century. The Team appears with the three officers on horseback at the front of the formation followed by 2 pieces of horse drawn Light Artillery with each caisson having 2 outriders, three artillerymen on the drivers bench and other artillerymen seated on the caissons with the cannon. The Photograph was likely taken some time during the Show’s three year tour of Europe (1903-1906). Behind the Drill Team we see what appear to be stables.
Provenance: This fantastic Photograph descended directly in the family of Irma Louise Cody Garlow, Buffalo Bill Cody's last surviving child. Buffalo Bill and his wife Louisa Frederici Cody (1843-1921) had four children but only their two daughters - Arta (1866-1904) and the baby Irma (1883-1918) lived to adulthood. Irma married Frederick Harrison Garlow Sr. (1880-1918) and had 3 children - Frederick Harrison Garlow Jr. (1911-1985); William Joseph Garlow (changed name to Cody) (1913-1992) and Jane Cody Garlow (1909-1987). When Irma and Fred Garlow Sr. died within three days of each other during the influenza pandemic of 1918, the three young children were cared for by their Grandmother Louisa, wife of Buffalo Bill Cody. Fred Garlow Jr. married Margaret Southerland and they had two children Patricia Ann (b.1948) and Mark Frederick (b. 1952).
In 2014 the bulk of the Cody-Garlow Collection was sold at auction with Patsy holding onto her favorite Photograph of Bill and performers from the Show. With Patsy’s death last year, we were luck enough to purchase some of the most intimate, one of a kind Photos of Bill Cody which we will be offering over the next few weeks in our weekly eBay auctions.
The Photograph offered here was the property of Patricia Ann "Patsy" Garlow, Buffalo Bill's direct great-granddaughter. It was the property of the Cody-Garlow family and was originally the property of William F. “Buffalo Bill" Cody. This Photograph from the Cody-Garlow Collection spent most of the last half of the 20th century on loan to the Buffalo Bill Historical Center of the West, and there is an inventory number penciled on the back of the image.
This very rare and wonderful, ca1905 Western Americana / Buffalo Bill's Wild West Card Mount Photograph is in very good condition. The Photograph itself is crisp and clean exhibiting somewhat soft focus, good contrast and tonality. There is no physical wear, damage or repairs of any kind to the Photo itself. The Card Mount is generally clean and crisp but does have light edge wear and tiny tack holes in each of the four corners.
An exceptionally rare and original, ca1905 William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody / Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Large Format, Card Mount Photograph of the Members of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West United States Artillery Drill Team - a personal, family Photograph that was previously the personal property of Bill and Louisa Cody - and a fantastic addition to any collection!!
