Cabinet Card Print of Geronimo with Dance Bros. Revolver by W.E. Irwin as Seen in "Confederate Handguns" by Albaugh, Benet, and Simmons

The print itself measures approximately 5 1/2 x 4 7/8 inches and is pasted to paper board matting. The original photograph is credited as being taken by William E. Irwin (1871-1935). It features Geronimo seated, with a scowl on his face, eagle feather war bonnet on his head, and a Dance Brothers revolver in his hand. This photo is featured on p. 160 of "Confederate Handguns" by Albaugh, Benet, and Simmons. Below the photo on the matting is marked "Geronimo Chief of [sic] the Apaches now a prisoner of war at Ft Sill" in old ink. The back is marked by a similar hand in ink and pencil with "Esther Royalty", which has been crossed out in blue ink with the added marking "Michael J. Cernik" in the same blue ink. Including the matting it measures 10 x 6 1/2 inches.

ConditionFine, the print itself showing a distinct image with some fading and a few scattered minor blemishes. The matting shows moderate wear and some scattered light staining, giving it an attractively aged appearance overall. An interesting piece for either a collection of the American West or a Confederate handgun collection!
