(see photo) Published by Goupil et Cie, Paris, with their blindstamp center, below image Printed by Bertauts, Paris (see photo) Condition: Excellent One stain verso, not visible on recto Full sheet Image size: 11 1/4 x 18 inches Sheet size: 17 3/4 x 24 3/4 inches Reference: Delteil 70 IFF 22, No. 1 Karl Bodmer (1809—1893) Painter, draftsman, and printmaker. Although he spent only two years in the United States and its territories, Bodmer's depictions of Western Indians and landscape contributed significantly to American art history. Born in Riesbach, near Zurich, he received his early training in Switzerland and then studied in Paris. In 1832 he was engaged by German scientist and explorer Prince Maximilian of Wied-Neuwied as expedition artist to prepare illustrations for a book about the American West. After landing in Boston in July 1832, the party visited East Coast sites before traveling to New Harmony, Indiana, for the winter. From St. Louis, following George Catlin's route of the previous year, they departed in April 1833 to journey up the Missouri River into territorial Montana, farther than Catlin had gone. Before winter set in, they returned only as far as what is now North Dakota. In 1834 they continued back to St. Louis and then to Europe. Bodmer ranked as the best-trained artist to visit the American West in the early nineteenth century. Precisely detailed, skillfully composed, and beautifully colored, his images reflect the wonder and curiosity with which he and Maximilian saw the land and peoples they studied. Bodmer's drawings and paintings, mostly in watercolor, served as the basis for more than eighty hand-colored aquatints he prepared in Paris for an atlas to supplement Maximilian's two-volume German publication, Reise in das innere Nord-America in den Jahren 1832 bis 1834 (1839–41). The trilingual atlas also accompanied French and English editions. (The single-volume Travels in the Interior of North America appeared in 1843). Maximilian's writings and Bodmer's art together provide a comprehensive and scholarly record of the region they explored. Around 1850, Bodmer settled at Barbizon to paint and etch landscapes, animals, and other scenes. He returned to Paris a few years before his death there. Courtesy: Oxford Reference

It is in this artistic universe that he grew up playing with colors, modeling the earth, pampered by his young mother, who dreamed of making a teacher of her. Very early on, his father, seeing his passion for drawing, encouraged him, introduced him to the Jardin des Plantes, where he developed a passion for the big cats that he practiced drawing. For the Universal Exhibition of 1900, the architect Binet, commissioned a frieze of wild animals of more than 100m representing tigers, bears, lions, bulls, and mouflons. This frieze will be executed in greenish brown glazed flamed sandstone by the sculptor Alexandre Bigot. Binet also ordered four lions from him to decorate the main gate...

Anderson, was a writer and illustrator of children's books. Anderson had an interest in horses and drawing. When he wasn't out riding horses, he was drawing them, taking great interest in their bone structure and conformation. Anderson started his career by illustrating for other authors, but eventually began developing texts to accompany his realistic and lively black and white drawings. He is best known for his "Billy and Blaze" book series. The adventures of Billy and Blaze revolve around proper care of the horse, while teaching a lesson. Anderson would go to great lengths to give accurate information. He would even go on to write Heads Up, Heels Down as a training tool for young horse lovers. All of the stories Anderson wrote would be based on true stories or people that he knew-only the plots were fictitious. By the end of Anderson's life, he had written and illustrated over thirty-five horse books, and had also created covers for the Saturday Evening Post. Anderson is the namesake for Andy's Summer Playhouse, a youth theater in Wilton, New Hampshire.[1] Anderson also was a member of the Society of American Graphic Artists.
