Portraits of Buffalo Bill's "show indians"

I hadn’t even thought about that - (Kodak) film on rolls had also been around for a decade at that point as well, so it was very much like modern analog photography. (Though strictly speaking the fast shutter speeds came about because of the silver-gelatin dry plate process developed in the early '70s and widely commercialized in the late '70s. So there was a good decade of short exposure photography on glass plates before film rolls showed up.)
