Poster – Pawnee Bill Shows. The only genuine Wild West. Circus poster (1903)

A Wild West Circus poster showing a white buffalo in the center.

The Pawnee Bill Wild West Show was a popular traveling performance in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, founded by Gordon William "Pawnee Bill" Lillie in 1888. Inspired by Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, Pawnee Bill’s version featured reenactments of frontier life, sharpshooting displays, Native American performers, trick riding, and cowboy demonstrations.

Lillie, who had previously worked with Buffalo Bill Cody, eventually partnered with him in 1908 to create the Buffalo Bill and Pawnee Bill’s Great Far East Show. The show highlighted both the American West and international acts, including Cossack riders and other performers.

Pawnee Bill’s show was known for its elaborate staging, cultural representation (though sometimes romanticized), and its role in shaping public perceptions of the Wild West. Today, his legacy is preserved at the Pawnee Bill Ranch and Museum in Oklahoma.

This is cleaned up a bit but still vintage looking.
