TOTALLY original 1910 RPPC real photo postcard showing the
all Black 9th "Buffalo" Cavalry
participating in the rodeo at the 1910 Wyoming State Fair in Douglas Wyoming. One can look at the "close-up" (scan #3) and easily tell that these are U S Army Soldiers of Color.
While the "blurb" in the original negative states that this is the 1910 Wyoming State Fair at Douglas Wyoming it does not mention the soldiers being African American members of the legendary 9th "Buffalo" Cavalry. But a brief o n l i n e search turns up many references to the all-Black 9th Cavalry participating in that fair and there are even a few other images of 1910 real photo postcards - apparently from the same series as mine - of them doing so (although I did NOT see mine among the available images).
Standard sized postcard. The type of AZO stamp box on the verso dates it between 1904-1918 but the card is dated 1910 in the negative
An original and very rare photographic document of black history in the United States.
As of 12 June 2021 I couldn't find
THIS view
listed elsewhere on ebay - either in current or completed listings
postally unused (but I only have ONE of these); previous owner (a serious collector) has penciled 9th Cavalry neatly on the verso; light brown stain in sky area on recto; else VERY GOOD
. . . . .
Remember that the
Abraham Lincoln Penny
is not attached to the item. It is put on the scanner bed merely to protect the uniqueness or near uniqueness of an image so that the high bidder gets an item that has not been copied via someone's computer. The penny DOES NOT hide any faults or any damage!
