A photo of Billy the Kid given to his teacher?

[MissyS]

I was watching a YouTube video part 1 of the Billy the Kid Museum in Fort Sumner, the owner gives a tour of displays, quite interesting things on display and enjoyable to watch, during the tour he shows a photo on display of a Billy the Kid, the young slim boy in the photo looks maybe 10 give or take a year or two I’m guessing?, and standing with a rifle standing up in front. The photo was said to have been given to Billy’s teacher in Silver City, when viewing the video, pausing it to see the photo is possible however there’s not a close up view and the paper next to it explaining more is hard to read, I have never seen or heard of this photo before and wonder if anyone knows more about it and if there’s more about it online somewhere?

Thank You tboor74 That’s the photo on Pinterest, he looks to be looking down or his eyes closed, a more full length view of the gun and his shoes or boots can be seen on the YouTube video. I don’t know how long it has been in the Fort Sumner museum, maybe it was recently donated from the descendants of the Kid’s teacher, because I’m wondering why it hasn’t been more known?
