Additional Details



Maximilian allowed his friend Schinz the use of 7 images originally appearing in Travels. "The images were beautifully lithographed by Honegger in Zurich, and some of them were hand-colored. At least in this instance, Maximilian was a willing participant in the arrangement, having sent Schinz copies of several of Bodmer's engravings as soon as they were available"--Ruud [et al], Karl Bodmer's North American Prints, page 29. (2004).
