EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The New Bandit King rescuing a girl from the rapids, 1880s-90s" takes us back to the thrilling era of the Wild West. In this vibrant colour litho created by American School in the 19th century, we witness a moment of bravery and adventure. The scene depicts a dramatic rescue as The New Bandit King, portrayed by Jas H. Wallick during an impressive theatrical run that lasted over ten years, fearlessly saves a young girl from treacherous rapids. The poster was inspired by James McCloskey's 1881 play, which captivated audiences with its gripping storyline. Amidst the danger and jeopardy presented by raging waters, our attention is drawn to the courageous cowboy astride his trusty horse. With determination etched on his face, he defies nature's fury to save an innocent life. This vintage illustration transports us into a world filled with excitement and peril. It captures not only the spirit of entertainment but also showcases themes of courage and heroism that were celebrated during those times. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are reminded of how theatre played an essential role in shaping popular culture in America's history. Through posters like these, people were enticed to experience thrilling stories unfold before their eyes on stage. Barbara Singer has beautifully preserved this snapshot from yesteryears for us all to appreciate and cherish today.
