1890s BUFFALO BILL CODY CABINET CARD PHOTO OF HIS YOUNG DAUGHTER ARTA
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:2786725 | Provenance: Property of the Cody / Garlow Estate |
Exceptionally Rare and wonderfully charming, 1890’s Cabinet Card Photograph of the daughter of William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody - Arta Cody - taken in the studio of Denver, Colorado photographers Clements & Ross. This Photograph was the personal property of Buffalo Bill Cody and descended directly in the Cody family to his great-granddaughter Patricia Ann "Patsy" Garlow - granddaughter of Cody's daughter Irma. It was taken for Cody and his family and was not published or commercially p...roduced although it is on a Clements & Ross card mount.
This outstanding Buffalo Bill Cody Family Photograph measures approx. 3 7/8" by 5 3/8" and is mounted on its original photographer's card mount (overall size approx. 4 1/4" by 6 1/2"). It is a vignette, bust portrait of the charming and beautiful Arta Cody at the age of 13 or 14. The image of Arta offered here was a personal, family photo.
In the Photo Arta wears a beautiful white dress and necklace with small locket. Arta has a charming and almost whimsical smile on her face. The image is simply wonderful and Arta appears happy and relaxed.
This fantastic, personal, Cabinet Card Photograph is one of the few we have ever seen of Arta Cody as a young teenager and the Image captures a happy and wonderfully self-confident child. While we have never seen this Image before, we have seen other personal family portrait photographs taken by various photographers during the 1890’s.
Provenance: This fantastic Photograph descended directly in the family of Irma Louise Cody Garlow, Buffalo Bill Cody's last surviving child. Buffalo Bill and his wife Louisa Frederici Cody (1843-1921) had four children but only their two daughters - Arta (1866-1904) and the baby Irma (1883-1918) lived to adulthood. Irma married Frederick Harrison Garlow Sr. (1880-1918) and had 3 children - Frederick Harrison Garlow Jr. (1911-1985); William Joseph Garlow (changed name to Cody) (1913-1992) and Jane Cody Garlow (1909-1987). When Irma and Fred Garlow Sr. died within three days of each other during the influenza pandemic of 1918, the three young children were cared for by their Grandmother Louisa, wife of Buffalo Bill Cody. Fred Garlow Jr. married Margaret Southerland and they had two children Patricia Ann (b.1948) and Mark Frederick (b. 1952). The Photograph offered here was the property of Patricia Ann "Patsy" Garlow, Buffalo Bill's direct great-granddaughter. It was the property of the Cody-Garlow family and was originally the property of "William F. Buffalo Bill" Cody. This Photograph spent most of the last half of the 20th century on loan to the Buffalo Bill Historical Center of the West and bears a BBHC index number on the verso (this Photograph does have a BBHC index number in pencil on the reverse). n
This exceptionally rare and simply fantastic, 1890’s Cabinet Card Photograph of Arta Cody is in excellent condition. The Photograph exhibits sharp focus, strong contrast and rich, warm tonality. Both the Photograph and the card mount are clean and crisp and exceptionally well preserved.
