Famous photo taken in Tombstone, Arizona of Josephine Sarah Marcus Earp, with little of her beautiful 19-year-old body hidden from the camera. Picture dorns the cover of her autobiography I Married Wyatt Earp. She was actually a Jewish girl from Brooklyn. For forty-seven years, they roamed the West, mingling with well-known westerners on both sides of the law. Photo is framed and matted measures 6x16”, has some foxing, could use a cleaning. But the clarity is simply amazing.
