Celebrated American performer (1860–1926) whose legendary prowess as a markswoman earned her worldwide renown. At the tender age of 15, she bested vaudeville marksman Frank E. Butler in a shooting match; the two were later married and toured together as star attractions in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. She never failed to delight her audiences. Among other astounding sharpshooting feats, Oakley would, from 30 paces, split a playing card held edge-on; on one occasion, performing in Berlin, she shot a cigarette from the lips of Kaiser Wilhelm II. Exceptional vintage 3.5 x 5 oval bust portrait of Oakley from later in life, wearing a high-necked embroidered blouse, and her white hair is pulled back and up on her head, and affixed to its original 6 x 8 Sherman’s of Newark, New Jersey, photographer’s mount, signed and inscribed in black ink on the mount, “For Mr. Thompson, With all good wishes from Annie Oakley 1908.” Photo is housed in its original presentation folder. In fine, clean condition, with just a bit of trivial foxing to mount.
