EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary Annie Oakley, a remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on American history. Born in 1860 and passing away in 1926, Annie Oakley was not only a skilled marksman but also a trailblazer for women's empowerment. In this full-length portrait, we see Annie seated with her rifle by her side, exuding both strength and contemplation. Her pensive expression hints at the depth of her character and the challenges she faced as a female gunwoman in the male-dominated Old West. Annie Oakley gained widespread fame as one of the star performers in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. Her incredible shooting skills earned her the nickname "Little Sure Shot" solidifying her place as an icon of American folklore. The photographer behind this timeless image remains unknown from the 19th century. However, their skillful composition captures Annie's essence perfectly, highlighting both her femininity and determination. Today, this photograph serves as a powerful reminder of Annie Oakley's legacy and contributions to American culture. It symbolizes not only her prowess with firearms but also represents resilience, courage, and breaking barriers during an era when women were often confined to traditional roles. As we gaze upon this stunning piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back to a time when cowgirls like Annie defied societal norms while leaving an everlasting impact on North America's rich history.
