In May of 1832 Swiss artist Karl Bodmer (1809-93) set out with
Maximilian, Prince of Wied, on a twenty-eight-month expedition
along the Ohio and Missouri Rivers. Along the way, Bodmer produced
more than four hundred watercolours and sketches of Native American
people, landscapes, animals, and plants. Engravings of many of the
images were subsequently used to illustrate Travels in the
Interiors of North America, Prince Maximilian's well-known
historical account. Paying homage to the great painter who captured
for the rest of the world so many important natural details of
early America, Karl Bodmer presents all eighty-one engravings used
to illustrate Maximilian's book, as well as the original
watercolours, sketches, and photographs collected during the
passage. Bodmer's detailed work is among the most important
documents of Native American culture of the nineteenth century, and
this richly illustrated volume brings to life a monumental event in
both art history and the history of early America. Text in English
and German.
