- Lot Description
Cabinet card portrait of May Lillie, "Champion Girl Horseback Shot of the WEst" and wife of Pawnee Bill. In the studio portrait, Lillie leans against her rifle, her hand positioned underneath her chin.
In the middle of a parade route in Philadelphia, Gordon William Lillie (also known as Pawnee Bill) suddenly stopped to speak to a 15-year-old Quaker girl with large eyes and dark hair standing on the sidewalk. The striking young woman was May Manning, who within two years would become May Lillie. As a wedding present, Pawnee Bill presented his new bride with a rifle and a pony, which were two essential parts of her future headlining act as the "Champion Horseback Shot of the West." A woman of untamed will, she performed in the show she co-owned with her husband’s show and ran a successful 2,000 acre ranch in Oklahoma. The couple lived to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary and were happily married until her death in 1936. The National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame inducted Lillie in May 2011.
Condition
Both are in very good condition but the marked card has some fading of the bottom stamp.
