EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Calamity Jane, a legendary figure from the American frontier. Taken in 1895 by an anonymous American photographer, this print showcases Martha Jane Cannary, famously known as Calamity Jane. Calamity Jane was not just your average frontierswoman; she possessed remarkable skills as a sharpshooter and had an unparalleled talent for storytelling. In this portrait, we see her seated with poise and confidence, holding a hunting rifle that represents her prowess in defending herself against any danger that may come her way. The image transports us back to the late 19th century when America was still being conquered and shaped by pioneers like Calamity Jane. It serves as a powerful reminder of the wild west era and the spirit of adventure that characterized those times. With its striking composition and timeless quality, this photograph is more than just a visual representation; it is a glimpse into history itself. The monochromatic tones add depth to every detail captured on film, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry behind the image and its historical significance. Displayed proudly at Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois, USA, this print stands as a testament to Calamity Jane's legacy as one of America's most iconic figures from the 19th century. Through Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we are fortunate enough to witness firsthand the strength and determination embodied by this extraordinary woman who left an indelible mark on history.
