EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Vignette VII. Cave-In-Rock (View on the Ohio)" transports us back to the early 19th century in America. Created by Karl Bodmer between 1836 and 1843, this copperplate engraving on paper captures a picturesque scene along the Ohio River. The image depicts Prince Maximilian and his companions embarking on their journey from Wheeling, West Virginia, aboard a steamboat. After nine days of navigation, they arrived at Mount Vernon, Indiana, where they sought lodgings for the night before continuing their expedition to New Harmony. Bodmer's attention to detail is evident in this artwork as he skillfully portrays the landscape surrounding the river. The vibrant colors bring life to every element of nature depicted - from the lush greenery adorning both banks of the river to the tranquil blue waters that stretch into infinity. The paddle wheel steamer featured in this engraving serves as a reminder of how transportation played a vital role during this era. It symbolizes progress and exploration as it carries Prince Maximilian and his fellow travelers towards new horizons. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in American history unfold before our eyes. This print not only showcases Bodmer's artistic talent but also provides us with a glimpse into an era defined by discovery and adventure.
