Title	William F. Cody and cast of Wild West Show
Summary	William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody poses in the center of a large group of members of the cast of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show during the show's last European tour in London. Cody wears a buckskin coat and a hat. He has a white goatee and moustache. Johnny Baker, a star of the show and Cody's foster son, stands to the right of Cody. John Burke, press agent for the shows, stands to the left of Cody. The rest of the cast is lined up in rows on each side of Cody. The cast includes numerous Native Americans and American cowboys as well as other cavalrymen from various countries that formed "Buffalo Bill's Congress of Rough Riders of the World." A silver tea set is set up on a small table in front of Cody, possibly in honor of his birthday. A landscape scene is painted on the backdrop behind the large group.
