'Gunslingers' weren't the only legendary 'bandits' in the west... I'm contemplating the mechanical kind.

Ah. I see where you're coming from.

Well, okay, since there also was a Lucky Luke comic adventure on that topic. But on one condition (as to make it fairer to the others, as well as maybe more challenging to you):

I'll allow it, if it's art, or if it's a photographic image from the 19th century.

Looking for just that (vintage photos of those machines) I happened upon something else, something with someone posing a real bandit -WITH a gun- from 1903 though -but a real person

-I think I'll be going with that instead.

Strange, isn't it: how googeling for images always brings up stuff you hadn't thought about in the first place.

[And:

that Lucky Luke album was the first thing that jumped to my mind on this theme

interesting theme...can't wait to see more

I forgot this was in Misc

And I didn't remember before having already made an entry:

[Justus D. Barnes in The Great Train Robbery (1903)]

I wonder if that will still count as "Media."

trekkiedane · February 5 2013, 04:36 PM

Even when searching for 'theatre curtains' it didn't occur to me that I was framing part of a film

Yeah, it probably cunts as media so I'm trying to put together a different thing: dead bandits.

Although... they probably overpriced the popcorn and the softdrinks in theatres even back then, legendarily so

Annie Oakley (the one from "Annie get your gun" and from Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show)

I don't know. Maybe anything over a hundred years old should count as History instead of Media.

We should get a ruling from the contest-runner.

Hmmm, it is considered a milestone in film making and can be downloaded from The Library of Congress linky

Sorry, but you'll have to resize it. Entries can't be larger than 150x150 pixels.
That aside, nice one!

@trekkiedane: Sorry, but that's obviously Media and no actual Wild West legend. Better go with the one-armed bandit.

Rhubarbodendron · February 6 2013, 07:49 AM

oops, sorry. I only saw to it that it's 120 px wide and didn't pay attention to the height

Yeah it is, isn't it just the very definition of it

ETA:

Better play safe then: Again Lucky Luke comes to the rescue, Phantly Roy Bean, Jr., aka. Judge Roy Bean -or- The Law West of Pecos:
