Hunting of the Grizzly Bear, plate 36 from Volume 2 of Travels in the Interior of North America - A Glimpse into Untamed Wilderness
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in the untamed wilderness of North America during the mid-19th century. Entitled "Hunting of the Grizzly Bear" this image is an aquatint engraving by Lucas Weber, created in 1844 and based on Karl Bodmer's original artwork. In this scene, we witness a group of intrepid trappers navigating treacherous waters aboard their boat. Their faces etched with determination, they have just successfully hunted down a formidable grizzly bear. The massive carcass lies sprawled across their vessel as evidence of their triumph over nature's apex predator. The raw power and primal beauty of these wild creatures are palpable as one can almost hear the crunching sound echoing through dense forests as bears feast upon bones and devour their meal. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era when humans coexisted with these majestic carnivores within vast American landscapes. Bodmer's meticulous attention to detail transports us back to an era where survival depended on skillful hunting techniques and resourcefulness. It serves as a reminder that our ancestors once navigated uncharted territories, facing both peril and wonder at every turn. As part of The Stapleton Collection housed in Switzerland, this historical gem allows us to appreciate not only Bodmer's artistic prowess but also provides valuable insight
