Karl Bodmer

Among the foremost artists of the 19th century, who traveled and depicted the lives, habits and dress of Native American, then called "Indian" tribes, is certainly the Swiss Karl Bodmer (109-1893), who accompanied Prince Maximilian zu Wied Neuwied (1782-1867), a renowned German explorer, ethnologist, zoologist and naturalist.

They undertook two two exploratory journeys to America: One to Brasil (1815-1817) and one to the United States of America (1832-1834).

They returned from their journeys with solid scientifically, most valuable, artistically sublime and sophisticated material, which was at the time of publication and is still nowadays of inestimable scientific value and priceless artistic beauty. The original folio edition was small and therefore very rare.

But have a look for yourself.
