Description
For your kind consideration I have been blessed to acquire exceedingly rare (original) 19th century glass plate negatives of Old Western Cowboys, Indians, Performers and Gun Slingers in my present listings. These photographs were taken by the personal photographer for William Cody Buffalo Bill and William Frank “Doc” Carver.
The Brule Sioux accused “Doc” Carver of kidnapping members of the tribe and keeping them captive for his western Wild West show. Carver had them returned to their reservation. This 5 x 7 magnificent glass unpublished negative shows three women of the Sioux tribe that Carver kidnapped had to return. Please take a moment to examine my other Buffalo Bill and Doc Carver glass plate negatives from this remarkable find in my present listings. The faces of these women reflect the plight they had to encounter before being returned.
William Frank Doc Carver (May 7, 1851 – August 31, 1927) was a late 19th-century sharpshooter and the creator of a popular diving horse attraction. There is a great deal of information found on this iconic old West Suprerstar.
