Complementing Karl Bodmer’s original sketches of western wildlife from the Joslyn Art Museum, the Museum will feature a selection of his amazing etchings from its own collection of prints from Travels in the Interior of North America:. A record of Prince Maximilian’s scientific observations illustrated with etchings by Bodmer, Travels premiered in Europe between 1839 and 1843 and was among the first publications to showcase the American West. Including portraits of Native Americans, landscapes, and wildlife, the selections from the book featured in this exhibit display the diversity of subjects Bodmer encountered on his expedition with Prince Maximilian up the Missouri River from 1832 – 1834.
