Founded by William F. \"Buffalo Bill\" Cody, the show was a theatrical reimagining of the American frontier, featuring legendary figures, sharpshooters, and reenactments of historical battles and Native American culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"588\" data-end=\"1167\"\u003eThe poster’s vivid imagery and dynamic composition highlight the romanticized vision of the Wild West, as perceived by turn-of-the-century audiences. Dominating the left side, a Native American chief in a traditional feathered headdress holds a decorated shield and spear, representing the Indigenous warriors who played a major role in the show. The central circular vignette depicts a dramatic horseback battle between Native Americans and settlers, showcasing fast-paced action and skilled horsemanship—a signature element of Buffalo Bill’s performances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1531\" data-end=\"2024\"\u003eThis hand-drawn lithograph, rich in bold colors and period detail, was used to promote Buffalo Bill’s traveling extravaganza, which toured extensively in America and Europe.
