Description

Iconic Buffalo Bill cabinet portrait inscribed to his “old Prairee Pard”

Handsome 4.25 x 6.5 cabinet photo of Cody in dapper Western attire, signed and inscribed at the bottom of the image, “W. C. Cody, Buffalo Bill, Feb. 14, 1906, to my old Prairee Pard, Oscar Sacks.” Published by Pessford of New York. Poor contrast to the signature against the darker background, and a few trivial surface marks and edge dings, otherwise fine condition. Sacks was an early American Indian fighter, western frontiersman, scout, and friend of Buffalo Bill—a friendship made clear by this warm inscription. Although the signature is light, this cabinet card presents a fabulous, crystal-clear image of Cody and is enhanced by its association with his ‘prairie partner.’ Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
