William H. Bonney, better known as BILLY, THE KID
An authentic picture of the famous outlaw from an origi-
nal tintype, which, showing the object in reverse, made
him appear left-handed, causing much comment by writers
as he is known to have been right-handed. The print is
reversed from the original to show him as he really
аppeared.
