This image is from a series of 7 very large, mounted images of Buffalo Bill Cody Wild West Show entertainers, men and women, all mounted on horses. Most are identified on the back but this is the only one that is not identified. The photographer was Jas. E. Hunt, 141 Clarendon Road, North Kensington, London, England. The series is dated as 1903. They are both on beautiful horses and she is riding side saddle. The background is a painted prop. I do not think this photograph or the others were ever meant to be sold to the public. I think they were for the entertainers themselves and meant to be framed. I bought them at auction and they got very little play in that most of the mounts are damaged. I was delighted to obtain them as they show a part of the Cody show and the horsemen/horsewomen that has not been shown in this manner. I think they are unique and historical. They needed to be preserved and enjoyed here by others.
