Jess Nicktem, SASS #47284 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 This is an original Cabinet Card photograph of Buffalo Bill Cody, taken by Pirou in Paris (when Cody was doing a European tour in 1889). This photograph has rarely been published- and is EXTREMELY difficult to find another copy- making me to believe there were only a few made. If that was the case then there is a good chance it might have been owned by someone that knew Cody, or even Cody himself (probably not...). I have found a similar photograph taken by Pirou that was in similar condition that was owned by Johnny Baker, close friend and fellow performer with Cody. In my opinion this photograph was once owned by Baker, but I cannot 100% prove it. Many photographs of Cody have been widely reproduced; however there weren't many copies made by Pirou. Even less of this particular pose. Like I have said earlier, I have only seen one other photograph of this particular pose, and it wasn't even the original like this is. So this photograph is EXTREMELY rare! I am looking for $650 shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I was in Cody Wy a couple of weeks ago. Did a little reading up on ole Buffalo Bill. He was quite a guy! We stayed at the Irma, a hotel he built in 1092. Toured the Cody museum, it was great. If you're ever in the area it is well worth the price of admission. One of the exibits in the museum referred to Cody as "the origionql worlds most interesting man". I think they may have been correct! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bill Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Hoss, I think you and they are correct. As a relative of Buffalo Bill the picture that Jess has is worth the price. Buffalo Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Nicktem, SASS #47284 Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Thanks guys, anyone that knows the importance of Buffalo Bill in the old west knows how historically important these original photographs are!

Waimea Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Jess You should do some research on this and try to get it authenticated. It might be worth 10 times what you're asking. Waimea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess Nicktem, SASS #47284 Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 So the buyer I had for this had terrible buyers remorse after his wife found out he spent money he didn't have.... This was of course after I used that money to pay off a bill that I had. So I am re-offering this at the VERY LOW price of $300 plus shipping!
