Vintage matte-finish 6.5 x 9 photo of Cody with a suitable smirk on his face and a twinkle in his eye, signed and inscribed in black ink, “W. F. Cody, ‘Buffalo Bill,’ To Mrs. Robey, Merry Christmas, But don’t tell Hubby, 1913.” In very good to fine condition, with a few surface creases (one passing through inscription), some chipping and surface loss to edges (slight paper loss to upper left corner), and a small unobtrusive tear tear to top edge; the photo is extremely appealing with a crystal-clear image and bold inscription and signature, presenting far nicer than its technical condition. A fantastic and humorously inscribed example, showing a playful side of Cody not usually seen.
