Le Petit Journal of Buffalo Bill circa 1890
This is an original authentic Le Petit Journal, Supplement Illustre from France featuring William Frederick (Buffalo Bill) Cody circa 1890. Buffalo Bill Cody had toured France in 1889, and then had been summoned to meet with Sitting Bull on the eve of the Wounded Knee massacre, though Cody was on a diplomatic mission. He is here depicted in full color with guns a-blazing. A small article on the final page provides more context. The front cover shows the wonderfully illustrated Buffalo Bill on horse back in bright color in a graphic scene at Wounded Knee. Artwork is marked, "H. Meyer - F. Meaulle" The condition of this Le Petit Journal shows some flaking to the pages and the joining spine of the journal and browning to the pages consistent with the age of the journal. The measurements of this journal is 16 1/4" x 11 1/2".
