EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a wanted poster from the late 19th century, specifically between 1868 and 1882. The poster, originally issued by the St Louis Midland Railroad, offers an astonishing $25,000 reward for the capture and conviction of notorious outlaw Jesse James. In addition to this staggering sum, it promises $15,000 for his brother Frank James and $5,000 for any other known member of their gang. The image serves as a powerful metaphor for law and order in the American West during that era. It highlights the relentless pursuit of justice against criminal activities that plagued the country at that time. This historical artifact not only reflects on Jesse James' infamous reputation but also sheds light on the efforts made by authorities to maintain peace amidst chaos. Taken from "Pictorial History of the Wild West" authored by James D Horan and Paul Sann in 1954, this print transports us back to a time when transportation was primarily dominated by railroads. The St Louis Midland Railroad's involvement in offering such substantial rewards demonstrates their commitment to ensuring safety within their transport system. As we delve into this monochrome photograph capturing an important moment in United States history, we are reminded of both the challenges faced by law enforcement agencies during those times as well as our own appreciation for modern-day advancements in crime prevention techniques.
