Early oil painting advertising "Savage Ale, served by the glass, here at Deadwood's own Saloon No. 10." Signed in the lower left by William Kessler, 1875. Original oil on canvas in early frame, 36 x 56". Damage to lower edge of oil painting. This choice painting may not date to 1875. Instead it may date to the 1920 period. It is probably from the early period of America when we promoted the Wild West. Saloon No. 10 in Deadwood was well-known because of Doc Holliday and all the rest of the Wild West gang, made famous by movies today. However, there's one distinct additional advantage to this painting right near the bottom where three Indians are climbing on a rock, is a large hole in the painting, as are several others round holes up by the words "Saloon No. 10." Adhered to the surface of the painting is a paper arrow that says "Jane Camry, (obviously Calamity Jane) after much drink, shoots at injuns with aim that stinks. On March 13, 1879, Calamity Jane shot this painting, the injuns remain."



It is highly likely that this piece was painted around 1920. This painting may have hung in the Parker Lyon Pony Express Museum. It is a choice example of not only saloon advertising and advertising of the Wild West, but of the early period of the introduction of the Wild West to America. There is further damage to the painting with three large tears through. It's important to note that we could find no trademark patent for Savage Ale, further we're unable to find anything on a William Kessler anywhere near Deadwood in 1875.
