An equestrian pose: Street scene, Cody, Wyoming:

On September 13, 1913, Prince Albert 1 of Monaco passed through Chicago on his way to Cody, Wyoming to meet Colonel William F. Cody ".... to start on a two-month hunt in the Rockies." according to the NYT of September 14, 1913: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9402E... F. J. Hiscock was a prominent photographer of Cody, Wyoming: forum.treasurenet.com/index.php?topic=164820.0

Info from "Cody Pictures" website: www.wyomingtalesandtrails.com/cody5.html----------- "Joseph Jesse Faver "Fay Jay" Hiscock (F. J. Hiscock) (1874-1951), was originally from Kalamazoo, Michigan. He remained active in photography in Cody from his arrival in 1904 until the early 1940's, and sold packages of photographs to tourists. The packages were primarily of the Cody Road. In his advertising he referred to himself as 'The Picture Man.'"

Thank you BobMeade and Wystan for your addition information about Prince Albert's visit with Bill Cody. We will add some of it to the description.

One of the all time greats! I just mentioned him in a comment recently and can't think where??? It's part of the "getting-old-heimers" I suffer from.

Swordscookie Love the expression "getting-old-heimers"!

Interesting - although I can't find reference to a Tom Mix visit to Dublin in The Irish Times, from 1920-1929. Although there are references to his visting England twice, in 1925 and 1929. Is there any more detail about the photo?

vandillo Hmm! Have been investigating. Found the refs to England in 1925 and 1929. Checked a load of newspapers, and did find one reference to a proposed visit to Dublin, but that was late 1930s. Will keep searching. However, metadata on these W.D. Hogan photos is usually pretty reliable...

Amazing to think this was the same year the Civil War ended!

This is fantastic. It's great to see film from one of our favorite Florida attractions. Thanks again for sharing these.

I am Amazed at this !! I remember when i was young,(late 60's), going to this place, and watching this very gunfight !! Too Cool ! Blast from the Past !

Thanks!
