William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody sits with a group of people in front of a tent adorned with two large American flags and a stuffed buffalo head mounted above its entrance. Cody wears a derby hat and suit. The woman standing at the far left leaning against the tent pole is Amelia Isaac. Seated to the right of Cody is Rachel Salsbury, wife of Nate Salsbury, who sits on the chair next to her. Nate Salsbury was the owner and manager of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. John Burke, press agent for the shows, stands slightly away from the group in the right background, leaning against another pole. The group is probably in Europe on the second tour of Buffalo Bill's Wild West. Another tent is set up in the right background.
