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 Indian artifacts. No other images of American Indians even come close to these in accuracy, detail and execution, faithfully transferred from the originals to the aquatint plates under Bodmer's close supervision. As the original prospectus explains, the work was issued with the plates in five formats (the list of subscribers in the front of vol. 2 of the text shows which version was purchased by each subscriber by means of the following numbers): 1) uncoloured on regular French paper; 2) uncoloured on India paper (i.e. "chinesisches papier"); 3) on regular paper with 20 plates printed in colour and hand coloured [as the present set]; 4) on India paper with 20 plates hand coloured; 5) on "Imperial velin papier" with all plates printed in colour and hand-coloured. In addition, the two text volumes were issued in regular and large paper, with the latter reserved for purchasers of the deluxe fully coloured version.

The enormous zoological collections which were assembled are today in the American Museum of Natural History of New York. the account of this journey is a classic work" (Borba de Moraes II, p. 544). 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).
