In this large, hand-colored print of a green truck transporting a large portrait of William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody on horseback, probably on an Arabian horse, Cody is depicted wearing a buckskin coat, a wide-brimmed hat and thigh boots. A wood frame supports the large portrait, possibly painted by Robert Lindneux. A man wearing a suit drives the open truck. Two automobiles are following the truck up the winding road, possibly up Lookout Mountain in Colorado heading to the Buffalo Bill Memorial Museum in Golden. A ridge of mountains and two bodies of water are in the distance.
