EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Camp of the Gros Ventres of the Prairies on the Upper Missouri" takes us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the rich Native American culture that once thrived along the riverbanks of North America. Engraved by S. Himely and published in 1841, this aquatint captures an illustration from Prince Maximilian of Wied's renowned book, "Travels in the Interior of North America". The image showcases members of the Atsina tribe, also known as Gros Ventre, residing in their encampment. The scene is set against the picturesque backdrop of the Upper Missouri River. In this vast settlement, teepees or tipis dotting the landscape create a mesmerizing sight. Notably, we see Maximilian himself alongside Karl Bodmer and their crew aboard a kneelboat—a testament to their adventurous spirit and dedication to documenting indigenous cultures during their expedition. This historical artwork provides valuable insights into Native American life before reservation systems were established. Preserved at Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois, USA; this remarkable piece offers viewers an opportunity to connect with our nation's past and appreciate its diverse heritage. As we admire this work by Bridgeman Images today, let us remember and honor these native communities who have shaped our collective history on this land we call home.
