Geoffrey Duncan of 40 Lillie Road, Earls Court, southwest was the photographic artist of this hand colored photograph of native American in full costume. Photo is 4 1/4 x 6 1/2 inches. Since the photo was taken in London, it is thought to be of the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show during their appearances there. In 1887 Buffalo Bill and an entourage of 100 whites, 97 Indians, 180 horses, 18 buffalo, 10 elk, 5 Texan steers, 4 donkeys and 2 deer traveled to England to help celebrate the Jubilee Year of Queen Victoria. In addition to staging twice-a-day shows during a five-month stay in London for crowds that averaged around 30,000, the Wild West troupe gave a command performance for the queen in which the Prince of Wales and the kings of Belgium, Greece, Saxony and Denmark rode around the arena in a stagecoach with Buffalo Bill fending off marauding Indians from the driver's seat. In the process, Buffalo Bill's pop interpretation of the American frontier was validated as high culture and for the next five years the Wild West toured the major capitals of Europe. Being In London during this time period is is very likely that this "Little Deer" was a brave or warrior in the Wild West show.
