An albumen photograph featuring a rare pose of Wild Bill Hickok, misidentified in ink below the portrait as Buffalo Bill, with backmark of J. Lee Knight / New River Side Gallery, Topeka, Kansas. In The West of Wild Bill Hickok, Joseph G. Rosa includes two of the only known portraits based on this particular photograph, an engraving of Wild Bill - From a Photograph, which was published in W.E. Webb's Buffalo Land in 1872, and a copy cdv of the original photograph, which was discovered in 1955. According to Rosa, the photographer of the original photograph is unknown, but he believes that the plate was made between 1868 and 1870 (1982: 111-112). Although Rosa suggests that A.P. Trott may have taken the photograph, the backmark indicates that J. Lee Knight actually took the picture of Hickok during one of his many trips to Topeka. Condition: Even toning to photograph; light soiling to mount.
