A group of Russian Georgian Cossacks, led by David Kadjaia, ride horses from the left background toward the arena's entrance. The riders wear wool hats and long coats. Cody reportedly liked to watch the progress of the Wild West Show through the peephole. The announcer and Cody also reportedly worked out a system whereby the announcer would signal Cody when it was time to prepare for the next act.Physical Description1 photoprint : black and white ; 9 x 12 cm (3 1/2 x 4 3/4 in.) on album sheet 18 x 24 cm (7 x 9 1/2 in.)Born-Digital or AnalogAnalogSubjectCossacksWild west showsBuffalo Bill, 1846-1917Baker, Johnny, d. 1931Buffalo Bill's Wild West ShowCollectionPhotographs - Western HistoryRelated MaterialImage File: ZZR700105692Type of MaterialPhotographic printsDigital Version Created FromSalsbury collection, Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, album 5Original Material Found in CollectionSalsbury collection, Buffalo Bill's Wild West ShowNotes1901 handwritten on inside cover of album; "1902" handwritten and then scribbled out on inside cover of album.
