You are offerding on a large, very rare original antiquearticle from an 1880s French illustrated journal.

It is a 21-inch article about the famous firearms sharp-shooter. THe occasion was her arrival to Paris in 1887. Interestingly, she lists her birthdate as 1866 instead of 1860, trying to appear as a 21-year-old instead of an \"old\" 27!

Modern computer translation and opical character recognition should make the article fairly easy to translate if you do not read French.

Annie Oakley (born Phoebe Ann Mosey; August 13, 1860 – November 3, 1926) was an American sharpshooter and exhibition shooter. Her \"amazing talent\" first came to light when the then 15-year-old won a shooting match with traveling show marksman Frank E. Butler (whom she married). The couple joined Buffalo Bill\'s Wild West show a few years later. Oakley became a renowned international star, performing before royalty and heads of state. Oakley also was variously known as \"Miss Annie Oakley\", \"Little Sure Shot\", \"Little Miss Sure Shot\", \"Watanya Cicilla\", \"Phoebe Anne Oakley\", \"Mrs. Annie Oakley\", \"Mrs. Annie Butler\", and \"Mrs. Frank Butler\". Her death certificate gives her name as \"Annie Oakley Butler\".

It is very large (folio size), measuring approximately 10.5 x 14.5 inches (26.5 x 36.5 cm). The picture fills most of the page, with a Frenchcaption below.

The page has fox marks in white margin area of the print. There is text/photos on the back of the print. See scan for an accurate view of the condition.

This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
