Summary |
A group of Zouaves poses in front of a backdrop with a landscape scene painted on it for Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. The costume the men wear, including red, baggy pants, gold-braided blue vests and red fez hats, was reportedly derived from the Zouaoua tribe in French service in Algeria in the 1830s. The men hold long rifles up in the air. They are posed in two rows, with the back row of men standing and the front kneeling. |
