No binding. Condition: Good. 415 x 810 mm., large folding map in early outline colour as issued, one or two light creases, some browning to upper margin and water stain to lower margins not affecting the map, otherwise in good condition with no major splits or tears. A fine example of this very rare map which accompanied the finest colour plate book on the North American Indian ever printed entitled 'Reise in das inner Nord-America .' It is particularly rare is it accompanied the text volumes printed to accompany the fine aquatint plates more often found. It charts one of the more remarkable voyages of exploration undertaken within the present United States. Prince Maximilian of Wied-Neuwied (1782-1867) was a noted German explorer, ethnologist and naturalist. Joining the Prussian army in 1800 he fought through the Napoleonic Wars and left at the end in 1815. An early friend of Alexander Humboldt Maximilian led his own expedition to Brazil in 1815-17. In 1832 after hiring the Swiss artist Karl Bodmer he set out again this time to the waters of the Missouri River and the Plains. The region was little known at the time. They started out from St. Louis and travelled on the 'Yellowstone', an American Fur Company steamboat stopping at their various forts. Changing vessels along the way they continued Fort Union, Fort Clark and Fort Mackenzie. They observed the Assiniboin, Cree, Mandan, Minatare and Crow peoples. From here they returned south reaching St. Louis in May 1834.Whilst Prince Maximilian returned to Germany to write his account Karl Bodmer travelled to Paris to prepare his famous aquatint plates from his collection of watercolours. Together their finished work would be considered one of the most sympathetic and accurate recordings of the Plains Indians issued just prior to their virtual extinction with a decade. This was ironically brought about by the very method used to document them in the first place. In 'The Plains Indians', the historian Paul H. Carlson states the smallpox outbreak was traced to contact between deckhands of the steamboats of the American Fur Company and the natives.Wheat records that Prince Maximilian was given a map in 1833 by Major Benjamin O'Fallon who was the nephew of William Clark author of the map who along with Meriwether Lewis had crossed the region to reach the Pacific Ocean earlier in the century. O'Fallon had joined Clark in 1808 and was also present on Stephen Long's expedition to the Rocky Mountains in 1819-20. By the time of Prince Maximilian expedition, he was one of the most experienced travellers in the region. No doubt the version he passed to the Prince would have been updated considerably since the Lewis and Clark expedition. The fact that the printed map includes the route of Long is clear indication of that. The Prince is said to have 'completed it and removed its deficiencies'. Since the publication of Wheat further research has identified that the cartographer was Lt. Col. William Thorn who used as a base map Henry Tanner's 'Map of the United States of America' published in 1837. The map includes large insets of the Missouri River lower left and one of the source of the Mississippi River 'According to Schoolcraft' lower right. The whole is finished with a dramatic title cartouche illustrating a buffalo hunting scene.Maximilian's insisted that the text be published in a deluxe edition, which made publishers wary. The popularity of such works was waning. Maximilian persisted and in 1839 the first text and prints were ready for distribution to a disappointingly few subscribers. A French edition in 1840-42 and the English translation in 1843 were no more successful. Bodmer spent a total of eight years supervising a group of the best French and Swiss etchers to produce the aquatints. The original copper plate for the map was recently found amongst the original watercolours in the Joslyn Art Museum, Omaha, Nebraska. Provenance: private German collection; private English collection. Abbey Travel 615; Field 103.

Three volumes. [4],383; [4],487; [4],410pp., plus sixty engravings on thirty plates, and a map of Fort Clark. Lacks the folding map. Half title in each volume. Contemporary three- quarter green morocco and cloth, gilt. Minor wear to extremities. Scattered foxing, moderately heavy at times. Very good. First French edition of this most important work of Western Americana, describing the travels of German Prince Maximilian of Wied in the United States and on the upper Missouri River in 1832-34, accompanied by Swiss artist Karl Bodmer. Prince Maximilian was already an experienced naturalist and explorer in 1832, having made an important scientific expedition to Brazil in 1815-17. His preparations for his trip to North America included retaining Karl Bodmer to prepare illustrations of the journey. Arriving in the fall of 1832, the Prince travelled across Pennsylvania and the Midwest and ascended the Missouri River in the spring of 1833. He went as far upstream as the American Fur Company post of Fort Mackenzie in present-day Montana, and spent the winter at Fort Clark, near the Mandan Indian villages. During this prolonged stay, he and Bodmer had ample opportunity to observe the Indian tribes of the upper Missouri in their full glory, carefully recorded by Bodmer in watercolors. In the spring of 1834 they returned to Europe, and devoted the next five years to preparing the text and plates for this publication. Often eclipsed by the famous Bodmer atlas of the expedition, Maximilian's text remains one of the most important western travel narratives of the fur trade era, and a rare book in its own right.

Provenance: Chateau Tetschen library of the counts of Thun-Hohenstein (red coat of arms stamp to verso of titles). ---- FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE OF THE FINEST WORK ON AMERICAN INDIAN LIFE AND THE AMERICAN FRONTIER, which includes the first truly accurate depictions of the Plains Indians, the result of an epic journey which took place at a time when the mass migration of settlers and pioneers was about to alter irrevocably the unspoiled West. Prince Maximilian's text was first issued in German in 20 parts from 1838 through 1841, with an abridged English translation being issued in London by Ackermann in 1843. Karl Bodmer (1809-1893) was engaged by Prince Maximilian (already famed for his earlier explorations to Brazil) to record of his travels among the Indian people of North America from 1832 to 1834, at a time when the Plains and the Rockies were still virtually unknown. His efforts show great versatility and technical virtuosity and give us a uniquely thorough, accomplished and detailed picture of a previously little understood (and soon to vanish) way of life. The most important part of their travels started from St. Louis, whence they proceeded up the treacherous Missouri along the line of forts established by the American Fur Company. At Bellevue they encountered their first Indians, then went on to make contact with the Sioux tribe, learning of and recording their little known ceremonial dances, their powerful pride and dignity. Transferring from the Yellow Stone to another steamer, the Assiniboine, they continued to Fort Clark, studying there the Mandan, Mintari and Crow tribes, then the Cree and Assiniboin tribes at Fort Union, the main base of the American Fur Company. On a necessarily much smaller vessel they journeyed through the extraordinary geological scenery of that section of the Missouri to Fort Mackenzie in Montana, establishing over a month there a cautious friendship with the fearsome Blackfoot tribe. From this, the westernmost point reached, it was considered too dangerous to continue and the return journey downstream began. The winter brought its own difficulties and discomforts, but Bodmer was still able to execute numerous studies of villages, dances, and especially, the people, who were often intrigued and delighted by his work. The portraits are particularly notable for their capturing of individual personalities, as well as forming, together with Prince Maximilian's written studies, the primary accounts of what became virtually lost cultures. . . . - Visit our website for further reading and images!.

The first edition of the narrative of the travels of Prince Maximilian zu Wied-Neuwied (1782-1867) up the Missouri River and the Plains in 1832-34. It is accompanied by the magnificent series of portraits and scenes of Indian life just prior to its loss forever. Many of them are amongst the most iconic images of the American West. The artist accompanying him on the voyage was Karl Bodmer (1809-93). Ron Tyler called him 'the most accomplished artist to paint them [American Indians]'.Prince Maximilian was a student of natural history and had studied under the same tutor as another great scientist, Alexander von Humboldt. Their field of study was anthropology and how the spread of humans around the globe had led to so many different races. Maximilian's trip was to attempt to answer some of those questions. A veteran of the Napoleonic Wars he had already travelled to the Brazilian jungle 1815-17. The prints accompany that work were derided and for his travels to America he wrote 'I would want to bring along a draftsman who would not be too much of a burden on my pocketbook, a landscape painter but also able to depict figures correctly and accurately, especially the Indians.' Maximilian met the young Bodmer in January 1832 and after agreeing to the voyage they departed in May of the same year.Arriving in Boston they made their way to St. Louis by April 1833 from where they headed up the Missouri in the Yellow Stone, an American Fur Company steamboat which had carried George Catlin the previous year. The region was little known at the time. Changing vessels along the way they continued to Fort Union, Fort Clark, and Fort Mackenzie. They observed the Assiniboin, Cree, Mandan, Minatare, and Crow peoples. They went beyond Fort Union into Blackfoot country in present day Montana. After a dreadful return journey, they reached St. Louis on 16 July 1834, Maximilian suffering badly from scurvy. Maximilian had lost much of his natural history and ethnographic material in the explosion of the Assiniboine on the Missouri. However, Bodmer's more than 400 watercolours and sketches.Whilst Prince Maximilian returned to Germany to write his account Karl Bodmer travelled to Paris to prepare his famous aquatint plates from his collection of watercolours.
