Description from the seller
Buffalo Bill’s Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World – Official Program
Buffalo Bill’s Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World was a famous traveling show created by Colonel William F. Cody, better known as Buffalo Bill. This program cover, priced at six pence, is a historic keepsake from one of the tours of the exposition, in the United Kingdom 1903/1904.
This booklet, about 123 years old, is in good condition.
It naturally shows signs of wear.
See the photos, which are an integral part of the description.
The show combined theatrical recreations of frontier life, expert marksmanship displays, and riding demonstrations.
It brought together artists from diverse cultures, including cowboys, Native American tribes, Mexican vaqueros, Cossacks, and other international riders, hence the title of the “Congress of Rough Riders of the World.”
The events aimed to present a romanticized version of the American West to audiences around the world.
Historical significance:
Buffalo Bill’s Far West was not merely entertainment; it was a major cultural export that shaped global perceptions of the American frontier.
Illustrated programs, like the one presented here, are now valued collectible mementos by historians and collectors of the American West.
