by BODMER, Karl (1809-1893)
Paris, Coblentz and London, 1842. Aquatint engraving by Himely after Bodmer, proof before all letters. Light soiling to upper and left outer blank margins. A very rare proof before letters.
Prince Maximilian and his party left Fort Union on 6 July aboard the 60-foot keelboat Flora and eventually arrived at Fort McKenzie on 9 August 1833. The present view recalls the events of 5th August when the keelboat stopped opposite an Atsina camp at the mouth of the Judith River. The camp contained over 200 tipis and the boat was soon overrun by visitors wishing to trade. The Indians far outnumbered the party of travelers and the situation remained chaotic (truncated)
