Featured in this lot is a Rare C. S. Fly Cabinet Card of William E. Gladstone, circa 1889. Provenance: Tombstone Western Heritage Museum, Tombstone, Arizona. William Ewart Gladstone FRS FSS was a British statesman, starting as Conservative MP for Newark and later becoming the leader of the Liberal Party. In a career lasting over 60 years, he was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom for 12 years, spread over four non-consecutive terms beginning in 1868 and ending in 1894. Camillus "Buck" Sydney Fly (CS Fly, C. S. Fly, C S Fly, Buck Fly) was an Old West photographer and lawman who is regarded by some as an early photojournalist and who captured the only known images of Native Americans while they were still at war with the United States. His photographs are legendary and highly prized. Based in Tombstone, Arizona Territory, C.S. Fly (1849-1901) documented the peace treaty between Apache Chief Geronimo and the U.S. Army in 1886, as well as other iconic moments of the Old West. Fly gained access to some of the most iconic names of the 19th century: Apache Chief Geronimo and the bandits behind the shootout at the O.K. Corral. Without his studio in the notorious boomtown of Tombstone, Arizona Territory, we would be sorely lacking some dimension to our ideas of the frontier. While Fly didn't get any photographs of the actual gunfight which only lasted approximately 30 seconds, he did manage to capture both the outlaws and the lawmen on film before and after the bloodshed. Fly also served as Cochise County Sheriff from 1895 to 1897. Fly's images are very collectible and command premium prices today. Known for his photographs of Native American subjects. This Cabinet Card photograph displays The Right Honourable William E. Gladstone seated with a landscape backdrop. Fly's gold gilt studio stamp is on the bottom border, "FLY'S GALLERY, TOMBSTONE, A. T." Reverse has faint handwritten description along the top, "Mr. W. E. Gladstone Eighty years of age" The gold gilt edged cabinet card is in well preserved very nice condition. Very slight scuffing on edges. Gold gilt still bright. Cabinet card measures 4.25"W x 6.5"L, weight U6.
