BUFFALO BILL'S WILD WEST SHOW
BUFFALO BILL'S WILD WEST SHOW DOUBLE PORTRAITStamped on the back "Goplo 55. Avenue Des Ternes, 55 Paris". An unusual image showing two front facing young Native American men. One man standing, wearing a jacket with beaded fringe over a tunic with a long fur pelt sash partially obscuring a posing stand. His hand is resting on the shoulder of a seated man wearing a feathered headband with a beaded strand hanging across his face, a bone bead breastplate, and pelts. Across his lap is what may be a blanket. Against his left leg is a short staff or crop, his right hand holds a revolver with the barrel resting on his knee. Many of these performers brought their families on tour. This trip as a performer with the Wild West Show in the 1889 Paris Universal Exhibition would have affordedan opportunity to escape the restrictive confines of the reservations and practice traditional activities such as hunting or dancing while wearing traditional tribal dress, all things prohibited on reservations. As employees of Buffalo Bill they were paid wages, provided food and living accommodations, and given the chance to travel relatively freely. Approx 4-1/4" L x 6-1/2" H. Overall wear consistent with age. See images for more details on condition. This item can be shipped in house.

BUFFALO BILL'S WILD WESTBuffalo
BUFFALO BILL'S WILD WESTBuffalo Bill’s Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World. U.S. Cavalry Exercises. The Military Marvels of the World. Cincinnati: Enquirer Job Ptg., ca. 1890s. A 28-sheet color lithograph billboard (approx. 286 x 108”) mounted on old linen as one unit. Chipped at edges and at sheet breaks, scattered over-coloring, minor discolorations from tape repairs. While Buffalo Bill’s Congress of Rough Riders represented horsemen of many nationalities, this poster focuses, in patriotic and violent detail, on the American cavalry. The uniforms shown are consistent with those worn in the period in which the poster was produced, and which might have led viewers to an association with the Indian Wars then most active west of the Mississippi. Such an intermingling of realism with displays of supreme showmanship as depicted in the poster suggests an attempt to elevate the performance to something greater than mere entertainment.

BUFFALO BILL’S WILD WESTBuffalo
BUFFALO BILL’S WILD WESTBuffalo Bill’s Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World. A Group of Wild West Girls and Cowboys – The Virginia Reel on Horseback. Cincinnati: Enquirer Job Ptg., ca. 1890s. A 12-sheet color lithograph billboard (approx. 120 x 84”) mounted on old linen as one unit. With mild to heavy soiling, scattered chips and losses across image, some over-painting, but strong and colorful overall. Depicting one of the most popular and enduring features of Buffalo Bill’s show, the Virginia reel on horseback. In this portrayal, a gathering of men and women on horseback are shown on the open prairie, a section of them with brass instruments to accompany the couples’ dancing. Such imagery confirms what historian Louis Warren writes of the narrative backdrop of the performance, introduced about 1886, in which “a community in transition, either on their way across the prairie by wagon train or in the midst of building a ranch or town” would break into dance when some call for celebration was found (Buffalo Bill’s America [Knopf, 2005 pg. 250]). Possibly unique.
