notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: Poster for <i>The Klondyke Nugget</i>, a play written and performed by Samuel Franklin Cowdery in England. The poster shows a wounded Cowdery and his horse and a Native American man holding a silver nugget. It was printed by David Allen & Sons Ltd. Cowdery changed is last name to “Cody” to suggest a connection to Buffalo Bill, William F. Cody. Though Cowdery struggled with his Wild West Show in England, he succeeded with melodramatic stage westerns, the most celebrated of which was <i>The Klondyke Nugget</i>, first performed in 1898.
