Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show Program and Wild West Camp Stationery. Included is a program for a July 16, 1898, performance of Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World in Saginaw, Michigan. The program measures about 7.5" x 9", is die-cut in the shape of a bison's head and includes thirty-two pages of show information, illustrations of performers, historical information, and even poetry. The program's paper covers are slightly chipped, otherwise it is in very good condition. The stationery measures 4.5" x 7" folded and is printed in the upper right corner "Wild West Camp./ Earl's Court, S.W.". A contemporary autograph note accompanying the sheet reads "Buffalo Bill Wild West Stationery Used in London, Eng., 1891 Compliments 'Doc' Chambers by John A. Stryker 'Buffalo Bill's Home Town,' North Platte Nebr." John A. Stryker was a noted photographer of western scenes. The stationery has suffered a 2.5" x 3" loss at the lower right corner, the paper is slightly age toned, and there is a small ink "3" in a circle at the upper left corner, otherwise it is in good condition.
