ORIGINAL ARTWORK FOR LATE 19TH OR EARLY 20TH CENTURY WILD WEST POSTER FOR FRANK B. CARR WILD WEST SHOW.

ORIGINAL ARTWORK FOR LATE 19TH OR EARLY 20TH CENTURY WILD WEST POSTER FOR FRANK B. CARR WILD WEST SHOW. This is not a printed lithograph but in fact an original water color probably used for the production of the eventual printed lithograph. Frank B. Carr apparently had a Western themed show, perhaps somewhat along the line of Buffalo Bill’s. This delightful artwork depicts a number of very lovely Indian maidens all dressed with traditional headgear, etc. Two are in a birchbark canoe, a topless maid swims beside the canoe, and another is holding a lobster with a man’s face on the front. The upper portion of the artwork, with a banner that reads “Frank B. Carrs” and beneath it “Lillian Washburn, Indian Maidens”. On each of the top two corners is a round blank disk, obviously it is here, where the dates might have been put in when the eventual posters were used. Posters from the Wild West are very collectible, however, this is not one of the massive amounts of lithographs originally produced, but in actuality the original artwork from which the posters were originally produced, rare indeed. With a white mat and nicely framed in a contemporary frame bearing an old label on the reverse, “Alexander Gallery, Madison Ave. New York”. SIZE: Subject only approx. 14-1/2″ W x 10-1/2″ H, including frame and mat 21-1/4″ W x 17-1/4″ H. CONDITION: Some faint penciled information in each of the blank discs in the upper right & left hand corner, and the paper is somewhat toned from age, otherwise very good to excellent. 4-39080 JJ3 (1,750-2,750)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2009

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
