WILD WEST PLAYING CARDS exploring the people and history of the American frontier through a remarkable collection of historic photographs. Native Americans, cowboys, pioneers, outlaws and lawmen appear in images documenting a period of rapid change across the American West.
Photography recorded the frontier as it was still unfolding. Portraits and documentary images preserved faces, clothing, communities and landscapes, including an important visual record of Native American peoples whose histories are central to the story of the American West.
The deck also includes figures who passed from history into legend. Cowboys, gunslingers and notorious outlaws became fixtures of dime novels and Wild West shows before Hollywood turned the Old West into one of the defining subjects of American popular culture.
Carefully curated and richly printed, these Wild West Playing Cards bring together historic photographs and portraits in a collectors’ deck for enthusiasts of American history, Western history and historic photography.
