Description
[WILD WEST SHOWS]. Buffalo Bill Cody orotone. Ca 1900-1910.
15 1/2 x 19 1/2 in. (visible area) orotone housed in period gilt frame, 21 x 25 1/4 in. (rich tonality, strong clarity; light surface wear to frame). In this ca 1900-1910 portrait, an aged, but still dapper Cody wears his signature broad-brimmed hat and sports a fashionably tied silk kerchief. While Buffalo Bill was photographed by commercial photographers hundreds of times, this is the only known image of him in an orotone format.
An impressive, near life-size portrait of Cody.
RARE: The only other known example of this orotone was produced in a smaller size, measuring 8 x 10 in., and achieved a price realized of $10,000 at auction (sold Cowan's Auctions, 2019, lot 343).
