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 watercolors 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 watercolors, 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.

Wunderbar beschrieben und in der 2. Hälfte die schönen Bilder. Sehr interessant. Welche Faszination müssen da erst die original Bilder auslösen.

Das Buch sollte ein Geschenk sein , musste wegen Dopplung leider retourniert werden. Soweit so gut . Dann erhebliche Probleme , die Rücksendung zu bewerkstelligen . Der Anbieter konnte mir keinen Rücksendeschein o.ä. zukommen lassen. Auch der Erhalt meines zugesandten Päckchens ( Büchersendung war wegen des Gewichtes des Buches nicht möglich) wurde mir nicht bestätigt. Gleiches Problem mit der Erstattung. Buch selbst ist toll und empfehlenswert. Kauf bei librisspeciali weniger.
