In 1832 looking to gather images and information about native Americans and their customs, Maximillian Prince of Wied travelled with Swiss painter Karl Bodmer across North America; Wied's travel experiences were published in 1840, his text printed in two volumes and 81 of Bodmers illustrations were published as a portfolio.; Reprinted from a splendid hand - coloured copy of the publication still owned by the Wied family, 'Travels in the Interior of North America' is the first book to reproduce a complete original colour version. Focussing on many details in each plate, in depth text serves as a key to the customs, clothes and tools of the native Americans, including well-known figures, such as, Mato-Tope.

Excellent Reference,

This review is from: Travels in the Interiors of North America 1832-1834 (Hardcover)
The expedition that Prince Maximilian and Karl Bodmer took through America is one of the best kept secrets in American History. This text provides an excellent view of what North America looked like to individuals traveling through the area for the first time. The combination of Bodmer's glorious aquatints with Maximilian's educated notes create a combination that any early American Historian or early Western fan should study if they truly love the subject.
