Reason: This 1907 photograph is a stunning image that, in a single frame, captures the transition from pre-consumer to consumer culture; from the American Old West to the American modern era. Prominently seen behind a troop of horse-mounted cavalry on the western frontier is an advertising billboard for Coca-Cola. The subjects of the image are in focus (there is some slight blur in the guidon where the wind has caused it to flutter as well as the rearing heads of horses, however, I think that's ameliorated somewhat by the fact this is a 1907 un-posed photo taken outdoors) and it is of greater than 1500 pixels; it is freely licensed; it is present in five articles, forming the infobox image of one; it is verifiable (both the image and its caption originating from the official state archives of Washington state); aside from some slight leveling, it has not been manipulated. (As an aside, this is my first FP nomination so please bear with me if I've made any errors.)
