EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a copy of the original tintype featuring none other than the notorious Billy The Kid. Taken around 1880 by an anonymous American photographer, this image offers a rare glimpse into the life of one of the Wild West's most infamous outlaws. Billy The Kid, whose real name was Henry McCarty but also known as William Henry Bonney, is depicted here in his traditional cowboy attire. With his youthful appearance and piercing gaze, it is no wonder he became such a legendary figure in American history. The ruggedness of the Old West can be felt through this portrait, as Billy The Kid embodies both danger and rebellion. His criminal activities earned him notoriety throughout North America during that time period. This print serves as a reminder of an era long gone but still deeply embedded in our collective imagination. It captures the essence of what it meant to be an outlaw in the wild frontier of America - fearless, independent, and unyielding. Preserved within a private collection and made available by Peter Newark Western Americana, this piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to reflect on our fascination with these iconic figures who shaped the narrative of early American history.
