Carl Bodmer (Painter)
1809-1893
It appears Bodmer changed the spelling of his first name from "Carl" to "Karl" about 1850.
Bodmer came to the United States in 1832-34 as part of Prinz Maximilian zu Wied-Neuweid's ("Prince Max") expedition through the midwest and Great Plains states. During that time, he painted Native Americans as well as natural history subjects and landscapes.

Bodmer painted scene from nature near Fort Clark, North Dakota (near Bismarck), during his travels in the United States, 1832-34. He created the plate in Paris afterwards, where he supervised over 25 engravers to produce 81 plates from his watercolors and drawings over the next 10 years.
