[History] Oakley, Annie. (1860 - 1926). Signed Photograph . A rare signed photograph of the greatest of all female sharpshooters, perhaps the greatest regardless of gender, a legend in her own time, who toured for many years with William Cody's Wild West Show. Her many feats astound merely in their retelling, such as splitting the thin edge of a playing card at 90 feet, then hitting it five or six more times before it hit the ground.
Silver print snapshot of Oakley posing on horseback, ca. 1920. Signed clearly and distinctly in blue ink upper right. Together with a snapshot of Oakley with Mrs. Langsdorf of Elkins Park, PA, each on either side of the horse. 2 3/8 x 4 in [56 x 100 mm].
