This analysis of the visual record of Buffaloâs Bill Wild West posters in the United States provides the first scholarly interpretation focused on the commercial print production and related cultural impact of the show on American and international audiences, and is divided into two sections: Inventing Buffalo Billâs Wild West, and Visualizing Buffalo Billâs Wild West. Part One interprets the history of the art, advertising, and commercial prints developed for the Wild West. Part Two includes overview and analysis of the visual culture of the Wild West for U.S. tours, the importance of the Strobridge Lithographing Co. and the city of Cincinnati as a commercial printing hub, and the Wild West diplomacy and international perspectives of the program following the successful 1893 season. The evolution of the art and advertising of Buffalo Billâs Wild West is linked to the highly publicized life of William F. Cody, and his exposure to the art and landscape of the American West. Chapters in each part of this study consistently incorporate elements of Codyâs life, his interest in American art, and his friendships with successful artists.
