This is a Montana Frank Shows advertising lithograph. This is an exceedingly RARE piece. Frank McCray was once a performer in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West and Congress of the Rough Riders of the World show from 1893-1899. Sometime around 1910 Montana Frank attempted to organize his own Wild West show. Evidence has been found of shows being performed in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Montana Frank had posters printed to advertise his show. This is one of the RARE original Montana Frank Shows posters dated 1910 and was printed by the American Show Print in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The poster shows a cowboy scout on horseback dressed in wooly chaps, vest and fancy riding gauntlets. The lthograph is in good condition. It has been professionally framed. The frame measures 22.75" x 29.75".
