George Elbert Burr woodblock print of the Chicago World's Fair

Colorado, Racism, and the 1893 Chicago World's Fair

Antonio Esquivel, a champion Mexican vaquero and star of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, rides a bucking horse in a dirt arena during a performance of the show at Earl's Court in England. He wears a cowboy hat and a short, dark jacket. A group of cowboys stands in the background watching Esquivel ride. A backdrop with a landscape scene painted on it is at the far end of the arena.
