  • THE POSTERS of BUFFALO BILL's WILD WEST By
    ART PERPETUATING FAME: THE POSTERS OF BUFFALO BILL’S WILD WEST By Copyright 2013 Stephanie Fox Knappe Submitted to the graduate degree program in Art History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Charles C. Eldredge ________________________________ Dr. David Cateforis ________________________________ Dr. Stephen Goddard ________________________________ Dr. Susan Earle ________________________________ Dr. Chuck Berg Date Defended: July 1, 2013 The Dissertation Committee for Stephanie Fox Knappe certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: ART PERPETUATING FAME: THE POSTERS OF BUFFALO BILL’S WILD WEST ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Charles C. Eldredge Date approved: July 1, 2013 ii Abstract From 1883 until 1913, Buffalo Bill’s Wild West attracted fifty million people in more than one thousand cities in ten countries. William Frederick “Buffalo Bill” Cody’s globe- galloping extravaganza would not have attained its status as one of the most widely attended and wildly popular turn-of-the-century spectacles without an extensive and effective promotional system to perpetuate its fame. Using the exhibition’s posters as primary objects of inquiry, this dissertation examines the Wild West’s most iconic and resonant elements.
