This compelling postcard features the iconic image of Billy the Kid, perhaps the most famous outlaw of the American Old West. The front displays the legendary tintype photograph taken in Fort Sumner circa 1879, showing William H. Bonney (also known as Henry McCarty or Kid Antrim) in his rugged frontier attire, holding a Winchester rifle. This specific image is historically significant as it remained the only widely accepted photograph of the outlaw for over a century.

Published as part of the Old West Collectors Series by Kustom Quality in El Paso, Texas, this card serves as a wonderful piece of Western Americana. The reverse side provides a brief biographical sketch of the outlaw's life and his ultimate demise at the hands of Sheriff Pat Garrett in 1881. It features a decorative steer skull stamp box and classic typography, making it a perfect addition for collectors of frontier history, lawmen and outlaws, or vintage-style topographical postcards.
