<B>Original Annie Oakley Cabinet Card - Unusual Photo Clarity.</B></I> Cabinet Card embossed by H. S. King Studio in Northfield, Minnesota - a pristine, posed photo of Phoebe Anne "Annie Oakley" Moses on gold trimmed cabinet card. Original photo shot by David Barry and reprinted in 1898 for this card. <BR><BR>Annie Oakley, a sharpshooter of the American West, was showered with admiration and acclaim from her involvement in the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show. Her talent unmatched, "Little Sure Shot" had the rare opportunity to perform in front of, among others, Queen Victoria of England who called Oakley, "a very clever little girl". She was also known for shooting the end of a cigarette from the mouth of Crown Prince Wilhelm of Germany, quite possibly with the very gun featured in this photo. Condition is very good with minimal, insignificant staining on lower portion of photo and no visible signs of wear.
