Antique 1919 Buffalo Bill Cody Grave B&W Negatives Lot 3 Lookout Mtn CO
Antique 1919 negative lot featuring Buffalo Bill Cody\'s gravesite at Lookout Mountain in Colorado, offered as a group of three original medium format black and white negatives.
Two negatives show a well-dressed man in a fedora and a woman in a long coat posing beside the fenced grave and rocky hillside, framed by the distinctive tree that rises above the site, while the third negative records a more distant view of the grave enclosure and surrounding landscape without figures.
These images provide an early view of William \"Buffalo Bill\" Cody\'s grave just a few years after his 1917 burial, documenting the simple metal fencing, stonework, and topography atop Lookout Mountain near Golden, Colorado.
Handwritten captions appear in the emulsion along the lower margins, including one dated \"May 23-1919\" and another labeled \"Grave Col Cody,\" firmly anchoring the negatives in time and place for historians and collectors.
Format: negatives suitable for scanning, printing, or inclusion in collections focused on Western Americana, Colorado travel imagery, and Buffalo Bill Cody memorabilia.
Actual Measurements: each approximately 2.25 x 3.25 in.
Condition: Antique negatives show handling and storage wear from age. Image surfaces display scattered fine surface scuffs, light rubbing, small spots, and tonal variation, with faint haze in places. Edges have minor nicks and localized emulsion flaking plus slight corner wear, while all three negatives remain structurally intact with no cracks.
