- Lot Description
Lot of 17 photographs on printing out paper, ranging in size from 2.5 x 3.5 in. to 5.25 x 7 in. One series of 8 photographs, each 4 x 5 in., shows buffalo Bill's Wild West Show's arena and grounds in Paris, France, at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, during their 1905 European tour. The premier shot of this series is taken from the tower, looking down on the arena and tent village housing the performers, with the massive Galerie des Machines and miles of Parisian blocks in the background. Other views include the entrances, the tent village (including a shot of Indian performers posed in front of their tepees), the crowd viewing a performance from the stands, and an action shot of a performance with clouds of gunsmoke rising into the air. Six of the seven smallest photographs show Indian performers on their horses, ready to enter the arena, as well as an action shot Cody shooting glass balls from horseback in the arena. The two large photographs are from the show's stop in Vichy later in 1905, one showing Cody shaking hands with the Shah of Persia, who sits in the well-appointed dignitaries' box, and one showing Cody lounging in the dignitaries' chair.
