Buffalo 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.
