Description

John Baker Omohundro (1846-1880) was an American frontier scout, actor, and cowboy who became a legendary figure in the American Old West as a Western showman performing dramas on the stage throughout the country, and was immortalized in dime novels published around the world. Scarce 2.5 x 4 carte-de-visite photo of 'Texas Jack' Omohundro clad in classic buckskin and posed in a dramatic stance, published by Gurney & Son of New York, signed and inscribed on the reverse in ink, "To Old Boy Will Covert, from his friend, Texas Jack.” In very good to fine condition, with rounded corners and some feathering to the ink.

The Western Americana auction of Jochen Zeitz.
