- Lot Description
ALS, 4to, 1.5 pp, dated at Paris, January 13, 1890, addressed to His Excellency Monsieur S. Carnot, President of the French Republic, regarding the presentation of an unspecified souvenir from Cody to Carnot for the latter's presence at Cody's first performance in France and as "a remembrance in honor of the French People whose extreme kindness I shall ever hold in pleasant recollection." Signed boldly in black ink, W.F. Cody / "Buffalo Bill".
We were able to find multiple sources that mention Cody presenting to Carnot a nine-foot-tall lamp topped with a taxidermied bison head -- a gift which the French president politely declined.
