Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show at Waterloo Photo
<B>Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show in Europe at Waterloo Photograph.</B></I> Original 1891 photograph of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show while touring in Europe, on an excursion to the historic Battlefield at Waterloo Monument. This is an exceedingly rare, 9" x 11.75", sepia-tone image of Buffalo Bill and various members of his Wild West Show, photographed while on the side of the hill leading up to the monument at Waterloo, Belgium, the site of Napoleon's famous defeat. It is dated in the negative and therefore on this image, "Waterloo - 2 June - 1891" at the bottom. A fabulous image including a number of American Indians, with Chiefs, some band members, and others, plus Cody himself, who stands near the center, beneath the huge monument at the top of the hill. This fabulous image is the very first we have handled of this image. In fine condition, with brown spots and stains present in the sky portion of the emulsion, and corners slightly rounded and bent. Overall, a beautiful photograph.
