This Photograph was the personal property of the Cody family and descended to his great-granddaughter Patricia Ann "Patsy" Garlow - granddaughter of Cody's daughter Irma.
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).
This rare and wonderful, ca1910 Western Americana / Buffalo Bill's Wild West Photograph is in very good condition. The Photograph exhibits sharp focus, strong contrast and rich, warm tonality. There is some light wear at the edges and some light soiling.

Cody unpublished, large size, unmounted Photograph of William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody riding in a 1910 Buick Automobile with his close friend and fellow Show Performer Oglala Lakota Sioux Indian Chief Iron Tail at Davenport, Iowa and a fantastic addition to any collection!!
