Billy the Kid.

Date and photographer not known.
Lincoln County Heritage Trust.

Believed to have been taken at Fort Sumner toward the
end of 1879 or the beginning of 1880, this image is a 2-inch
by 3-inch carte-de-visite ferrotypecalled a "tintype"
one of the most common photographic formats used between
1860 and 1890. It was most probably produced by what was
called a "multiplying camera" that used a number of lenses
and/or a repeating back to make four nearly identical
images which cost perhaps twenty-five cents. Battered,
nail-pierced, faded by time and poor handling, it has nonetheless
become a twentieth-century icon; it is the only authenticated
picture of the boy they called Billy the Kid.
