When the Oklahoma Kid first arrives in Tulsa, he sees a wanted poster on the wall behind the person of whom he asks directions. Wanted posters were not - as is common in westerns - publicly posted but simple information circulars distributed to law enforcement with descriptions of who was being sought (height, weight, eyes, hair, identifying marks, aliases, known associates, etc).Also, in the 1890s, it was possible but a very specialized and expensive process to print halftone screened photographs as shown. It is inconceivable anyone would have gone to the effort to get a photo of the Oklahoma Kid, then print a handful of posters using such an expensive process.
