A 1922 one-sheet for the Fox Film Corporation western directed by Lynn Reynolds. Fox's early-twenties westerns were programme pictures made fast and cheap, and they kept the genre commercially alive between Griffith-scale epics. The posters are frequently the only surviving artefact, as the negatives largely burned in the 1937 Fox vault fire. The action pose is drawn from a production still but redrawn by hand — compare the horse's legs to any photograph and the illustrator's liberties are obvious. A whole genre remembered mostly by its advertising.
