Billy the Kid Print

Billy the Kid became known by some, incorrectly, as "The left handed gun" because of the famous flopped tintype. However, he could just as well have become known as the "NO left hand gun" due to this old print of him that appeared in the "Police Gazette," in which the artist mistakenly drew another right hand on his left arm. After more than 130 years, I have taken the liberty of correcting the artist's mistake. See the next picture.
