For your consideration is a Collection of Rare M. E. Fly Tombstone, Arizona Territory Photo Postcards (7), circa 1880s to 1911. Provenance: From the Tombstone Western Heritage Museum in Tombstone, Arizona. Camillus "Buck" Sydney Fly (CS Fly, C. S. Fly, C S Fly, Buck Fly) and Mollie Edith Fly (1847-1925) were Old West photographers with Buck regarded by some as an early photojournalist 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, Buck (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. Buck did most of the field work for Fly’s Photographic Gallery, while Mollie took charge of the inside work, including studio portraits, the intricate color work and the business end. 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. The Flys' images are very collectible and command premium prices today. Known for their photographs of Native American subjects, including the Maricopa people. The photo postcards are labeled, "M. E. Fly, Souvenir, Tombstone, Ariz." Titles include: "Arizona Prospectors, Tombstone", "Holdup in Arizona near Tombstone", "Geo. Warren, Discoverer, of the Copper Queen Mine, Bisbee, Ariz.", "Maricopa Squaw, Arizona", "Pino Indian Ollio Makers, Arizona", "Maricapo Princess, Arizona". Two additional photo postcards include, "A Mirage on the Arizona Desert" by Fred Harvey, and, "Main Street Looking North, Yuma, Ariz." The photo postcards exhibit age tanning, staining and some scuffing and slight tears. 3.5"W x 5.375"L, combined weight is U6.
