EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph from 1891 showcases a reward poster for the capture of the notorious outlaw, Oliver Perry. Issued by Pinkerton's National Detective Agency, this print offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of crime and justice in 19th century America. The typography on the poster is bold and striking, demanding attention from anyone who lays eyes upon it. The large dollar sign at the top emphasizes the substantial reward of one thousand dollars that awaits those who can bring Perry to justice. This significant sum reflects just how notorious and dangerous Perry was considered to be. The image itself depicts a stern-looking Perry with his name printed curtly below him. His piercing gaze seems to challenge anyone brave enough to attempt his arrest. It is clear that he was not an ordinary criminal but rather a skilled thief and train robber, causing havoc throughout North America. This historic artifact serves as a reminder of both the lawlessness that plagued certain parts of American society during this time period and also highlights the efforts made by organizations like Pinkerton's National Detective Agency to combat such crime. As viewers observe this print, they are transported back in time, imagining themselves as part of an era where outlaws roamed freely while determined detectives worked tirelessly to bring them down. Overall, this lithograph captures an important moment in American history when law enforcement agencies sought public assistance through visually compelling means like wanted posters - all in pursuit of maintaining order within their communities.
