The plaque on the front of the frame reads as follows: Virgil W. Earp - Tombstone, Arizona - 1879-1882 - 1 of 25. Virgil Walter Earp (July 18, 1843 – October 19, 1905) was an American lawman. He was both deputy U.S. Marshal and City Marshal of Tombstone, Arizona, when he led his younger brothers Wyatt and Morgan, and Doc Holliday, in a confrontation with outlaw Cowboys at the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral on October 26, 1881. They killed brothers Tom and Frank McLaury and Billy Clanton. All three Earp brothers had been the target of repeated death threats made by the Cowboys who were upset by the Earps' interference in their illegal activities. All four lawmen were charged with murder by Ike Clanton, who had run from the gunfight. During a month-long preliminary hearing, Judge Wells Spicer exonerated the men, concluding they had been performing their duty. The condition of this photograph of Virgil Earp is good with no obvious signs of damage and shows a good overall condition. The measurements of this photograph is 30" x 25 5/8" and the visible artwork measures 11 1/2" x 10 1/4". The collective weight of this photograph is 11lb 4oz.
