A large, stuffed buffalo is placed on a platform between two large tents at William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody's headquarters tent for Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show at Ambrose Park in Brooklyn, New York. A wood picket fence borders the headquarters area. Two more stuffed buffaloes are on the ground near the entrance to each tent. An American flag hangs from a pole between the two tents, and a row of tall plants also grows between them. A wood sign hanging above the entrance to the tent on the left reads "Col. W.F. Cody." A similar sign hangs on the tent on the right, but the name is illegible. A group of teepees is in the background.
