Wild West Bar ... No Place for a Tenderfoot… [souvenir photograph]

“$5000 Reward for Montana Red…”

---

Hold on, partner. This souvenir photograph depicts more than your typical scene of a bandit cowboy and a saloon owner fighting over a bottle of Red Eye. The cowboy’s attire and the backdrop scenery are quite elaborate. Above the bartender’s head, a large sign boldly proclaims: “The bartender keeps your change / Shoot him, he is forgetful.” Other signs nearby announce: “No place for a tenderfoot” and “$5000 Reward for Montana Red ... Dead or alive Ketchum…”.

Handwriting on the back of the card reveals details such as “Lou’s [indistinct word] Siletz, Oregon” and “Steve Pione [and] David Bogard, Missoula, Montana,” offering clues about the people, place, and context captured in this image.

Price: $85.00
