Hi, Gov. And I guess it’s either early spring or late fall given the bare tree.

That’s the original correct orientation.

Interesting to see how short he is. Looks to be about 5 feet and a bit.

Looks like about 7 or 8 children in the photo. Wonder if that is a church/schoolhouse social.

Yeah, but we were a whole lot younger than THE Billy the Kid.

Looks like about 7 or 8 children in the photo. Wonder if that is a church/schoolhouse social.Article says it's a wedding.
"Taken just one month after the tumultuous Lincoln County War came to an end, it is a window into the lives of these gunmen as they were still fighting the injustices of a lawless land. Its a carefree moment after an important life event - a wedding - which is rich in content, movement and texture."

I’ve got that same board-&-batten siding on my house and outbuildings.
Never did learn to play no croquet.

...speaking of the far away shot in post 12, even with modern digital technology, how could they possibly do such a well focused zoom-in to Billy and that other guy from that distant photo?The original is most likely a large format photo printed from a large negative plate. With a high resolution original, you can easily zoom in and see more good detail.

I have my doubts about this photograph costing $2 in a “junk” shop. The image appears to be a tintype and anyone who deals with antiques should know that outdoor view tintypes with unusual subjects are worth some $$$$$. it is a desirable large size image and even if this were a group of nobody’s, that image could easily bring in the $100-200 range.
I think the backstory might be BS, kind of like the famous “watermelon” sword tale.

The far away shot in my post-12 would make a fantastic painting. That is, if done in the old school traditional (realistic) landscape style.That is a great photo and that is my style of painting... but I would have to get permission from the photo's owner to use it in a painting. That is why I always either paint from life or use my own photos.

I thought all tin-types came out flipped backerds.
