About the original

The Swiss artist Karl Bodmer (1809-1893) was the official artist of Prince Maximilian of Wied-Neuwied’s expedition up the Missouri River in 1833 and 1834, recording the landscapes and the Mandan, Hidatsa, Sioux, Assiniboine, Blackfoot and other peoples they met. In Europe 81 of his pictures were engraved as aquatints for Maximilian’s Travels in the Interior of North America.

These facsimiles are printed from copies that a colourist in America coloured by hand. The tableaux and vignettes include the Bison Dance of the Mandan Indians and The Steamer Yellow-stone on the 19th April 1833.
