Members of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show cast, probably German soldiers, pose on horseback in a camp for the show. The men wear metal helmets with birds on their tops and light-colored uniforms. They also wear cuirassiers covering their chests. Each of them has a moustache and also has a sword hanging from the left side of his saddle. One man sits on his horse slightly in front of the rest of the group in the left foreground. Several tents are set up in the background.
