This is a Montana Frank Shows advertising lithograph. This is an exceedingly RARE piece. Frank McCray was once a performer in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West and Congress of the Rough Riders of the World show from 1893-1899. Sometime around 1910 Montana Frank attempted to organize his own Wild West show. Evidence has been found of shows being performed in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Montana Frank had posters printed to advertise his show. This is one the RARE original Montana Frank Shows posters dated 1910 and was printed by the American Show Print in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is arguably one of the most action packed Wild West show posters ever created. Several elements of the shows are depicted in the poster including a Native American dance celebration, a gunfight, military cavalry, etc. The lithograph is in very good condition showing bright, colorful graphics. The poster has been professionally framed. The frame measures 35" x 48.75".
