| The publication of Karl Bodmer's Studio Art coincides with the 200th anniversary celebration of Lewis and Clark's expedition. Although thirty years lapsed before Prince Maximilian of Wied-Neuwied and his hired Swiss artist, Karl Bodmer, arrived in America to document flora, fauna, and Indian cultures, data from Lewis and Clark's journey still provided guidance and inspiration. At the Peale Museum in Philadelphia, the prince viewed natural and ethnographic objects gathered during the 1803 expedition. He later met with William Clark in St. Louis and received a gift of Clark's "Special Map of the Missouri River in the years 1804, 1805 and 1806." |
