Travels in the Interior of North America (black and white)

By Karl Bodmer, 1809-1893

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.

Here the plates are shown in black and white: large tableaux and smaller vignettes, among them the Funeral Scaffold of a Sioux Chief.
