"Karl Bodmer produced a large body of drawings and watercolors descriptive
of his travels in North America in 1832-34 with the German naturalist
Maximilian, Prince of Wied-Neuwied. Most of these works are now owned by
Joslyn Art Museum and, along with Maximilian's hand-written journals and
related materials, form the renowned Maximilian-Bodmer Collection."
