Book
Trade Paperback. Condition: Good. 112 Pages. First Darien House Printing August 1976. Moisture exposure on the bottom 3 inches or less evidenced by stains and/or wrinkling on many if not most pages. Stains are most evident on the inside of the front cover and on both sides of the back cover and they become smaller (less than 3 inches) as they progress to the inner pages until there is little or no evidence of staining after page 9 except for a minor stain on the last page. These stains are only on the borders of the aforementioned pages and there are no stains on the posters themselves. The moisture exposure evidenced by wrinkling is slightly more pervasive and primarily affects the lower borders outside of the poster area and is considerably less after the end of text at page 16. The 100 posters begin on page 17 with a portrait of Cody which has a barely perceptible stain at the bottom with no evidence of any staining thereafter to the last poster. The wrinkling of the borders diminishes thereafter to the last poster on page 112 which is a poster of Cody mounted on his horse. There are twp general textual descriptions of the Wild West Show and these posters on the inside of the front and back covers written by Cody and his Manager Nate Salisbury titled Look Upon this Picture and An Object Lesson. Rougly half of the posters are in color and includes a color triple size center fold-out that has a panoramic scene on both sides. There is an introduction followed by 16 pages of detailed descriptions followed by the 100 stunning full color and black and white reproductions. All of these posters are suitable for framing.
