This fake postage stamp depicts a
stone-like pose of Butch Cassidy, the legendary Old West bank
and train robber. The image is actually a mug shot made at the
Wyoming Territorial Prison following his first arrest and
conviction for stealing horses (prior to his time with the
"Hole in the Wall Gang"). Butch, who was born in Beaver, Utah,
is also well known for his association with Sundance ("Butch
Cassidy and the Sundance Gang"). The stamp was designed by
W.C. "Bill Porter" and created by The Olathe Poste (Olathe,
Colorado).
The above image is an enlargement; the
actual size of this artistamp is 36mm x 28.5mm (1.42" x
