Davenport,WA - Lincoln County - Dec. 15, 1903 - Ed Weston Original Wanted Poster :
A very rare reward/wanted poster for a notorious Washington state horse thief named Ed Weston (who happens to have the same name as a famous photographer of the 1900's). The paper explains that Weston "is a cowboy and a good horseman; is quite sporty and may seek the company of sporting women." It includes a very detailed description of his physical features as well as a short explanation of each of his convictions. The $500.00 reward offered by the Sprague Stock Protective Association was a HUGE deal for this time. The subject with its large "slug lines" as well as the layout and design of the poster with its eye-catching artwork beside the frontal and side views of the subject make its appeal as a wall hanger for any old west collection.
