Expertly bound to style in half dark blue morocco over blue patterned paper covered boards, spine gilt, speckled edges This masterpiece is the pinnacle of illustrated works devoted to North America, and unquestionably the greatest of all illustrated books devoted to Indigenous Americans. Reise in Das Innere Nord-America is the finest work on Indigenous Americans and the American frontier and is the result of an epic journey which took place at a time when the mass migration of settlers and pioneers was about to irrevocably alter the unspoiled West. Karl Bodmer (1809-1893) was engaged by Prince Maximilian (already famed for his earlier explorations to Brazil) to provide a record of his travels among the Plains Indians of North America during 1833-1834. His efforts show great versatility and technical virtuosity and give us a uniquely accomplished and detailed picture of a previously little-understood and soon to vanish way of life. The most important part of the travels of Prince Maximilian and Karl Bodmer started in St. Louis, whence they proceeded up the treacherous Missouri River along the line of forts established by the American Fur Company. At Bellevue they encountered their first natives, then went on to make contact with the Sioux tribe, learning of and recording their little known ceremonial dances and powerful pride and dignity. Transferring from the "Yellowstone" to another steamer, the "Assiniboine", they continued to Fort Clark, visiting there the Mandan, Mintari and Crow tribes, then the Assiniboins 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 a cautious friendship with the fearsome Blackfeet. 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 both 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 account of what have become virtually lost cultures. Bodmer's atlas, made up of smaller vignettes and larger tableaus of scenes from the trip, is justly famous for its extraordinary depictions of the native peoples of the Upper Missouri. These are, in fact, the best depictions of Indigenous Americans executed before the era of photography, and certainly the best of the Plains tribes in their heyday. Illustrated are hunting scenes, portraits of individual warriors including the famous Mato-Tope, Indian dances, scenes on the trip up the Missouri and along the river in its upper reaches, scenes among the Mandans, scenes of the fur trade forts, and illustrations of I.

Maximilian arrived in Brazil in July of 1815 and spent two years there, "aided in his research by Wied family retainers Christian Simonis (estate gardner) and David Dreidoppel (huntsman and taxidermist) and two German scientists he met in Rio de Janeiro - ornithologist Georg Wilhelm Freyriss (1789-1825) and botanist Friedrich Sellow (1789-1831). The collections and records produced under very difficult field conditions in the eastern Brazilian rain forests were prodigious and formed the bases for important publications written by the prince in subsequent years at Neuwied" (Paul Schach, introduction to "The North American Journals of Prince Maximilian of Wied: May 1832April 1833", page xxxviii). Paul Schach in his "An Introduction to Maximilian, Prince and Scientist", states: "Reise nach Brasilien in de Jahren 1815 bis 1817" (Journey to Brazil in the Years 1815 to 1817), earned [Maximilian] high esteem not only for his exemplary description and classification of Brazilian animal life but also for his pioneering efforts in ethnology among the Botocudos and neighboring tribes. More than a century later, Professor Herber Baldus of Sao Paulo described Maximilian as 'the first scientist who ever came to Brazil for the express purpose of observing the aborigines in their native habitations. What he saw there he described thoroughly and independently of opinions of his time". "While he was working in the rain forests of Brazil, Prince Maximilian came to the realization that his observations recorded in the tropics, especially those on native peoples, needed to be supplemented with similar investigations in different New World environments. As he briefly noted in his "Reise nach Brasilien, "It would be very interesting for me to see the North-American Indian tribes for the purpose of comparing them with those of Brazil, and I intend therefore perhaps some day to undertake a journey there" (ibid, page xxxv).

First edition in French of this fundamental account of Brazilian exploration. "From a scientific point of view this expedition was one of the most profitable of the nineteenth century The account of this journey is a classic work" (Borba de Moraes). Encouraged by his mentor, Alexander von Humboldt, Prince Maximilian (1782-1867), accompanied by the naturalists Georg Freyreiss and Friedrich Sellow, made his pioneering journey through Brazil from 1815 to 1817. From Rio de Janeiro, they journeyed to Cabo Frio, along the coast to Ilheus, to the borders of Minas Geraes, and finally to Bahia. The explorers studied the flora and fauna of the Mata Atlantica and visited indigenous peoples, such as the Botocudo, Purí, and Pataxo. Many thus regard this as "the first truly scientific study of a native Brazilian people" (Howgego). The zoological collections are held at the American Museum of Natural History, New York. First published in German as Reise nach Brasilien (1820-21), the work was immediately translated into other languages and reprinted many times. This translation is by the French geographer Jean-Baptiste Benoît Eyriès (1776-1846), a founder member of the Société de Géographie and, from 1841, a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He also translated Krusenstern's account of the first Russian circumnavigation. The German explorer and naturalist Maximilian was the prince of the small state of Neuwied. He studied biological sciences under the physician Johann Friedrich Blumenbach. Besides his journey to Brazil, Prince Maximilian explored North America from 1832 to 1834 on the first scientific exploration of the Missouri River since Lewis and Clark's 30 years earlier. Alongside the Swiss artist Karl Bodmer, he travelled from Boston to Fort Mackenzie, making copious notes on the Native American tribes encountered. His account was published as Reise in das innere Nord-America in den Jahren 1832 bis 1834 (1837).
