Zouaves group

William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody stands on the far left of a group of Zouave posing in three rows. The back row is standing, the middle row kneeling and the front row sitting. The costume the Zouaves wear, including red, baggy pants, gold-braided blue vests and red fez hats, was reportedly derived from the Zouaoua tribe in French service in Algeria in the 1830s. The men are members of the cast of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. Nate Salsbury, owner and manager of the Wild West Show, stands on the far right of the group wearing a derby hat. Two teepees are set up in the right background. A large building resembling a barn is in the left background.
