EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Winter Village of the Minatarres" takes us back in time to a Hidatsa village settlement scene. The image, captured by Karl Bodmer in 1836, beautifully depicts the daily activities and social interactions of this Native American community. As we gaze upon the scene, we are transported to a winter landscape where earth lodges dot the snowy terrain. Smoke gracefully billows from some of these traditional dwellings, creating an enchanting atmosphere. The gathering of people in groups adds a sense of camaraderie and community spirit to the composition. Commissioned by Maximilian, Prince of Wied, Bodmer's illustrations were intended to accompany their travels documented in an atlas. This particular tableau is part of a series that includes 81 plates showcasing aquatints. The attention to detail and vibrant colors used by Bodmer bring life to this historical moment frozen in time. Through his lens, we gain insight into the rich cultural heritage and way of life practiced by the Minatarres during winter months. Displayed at Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois, this remarkable print serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and a valuable glimpse into North America's interior history. It reminds us of our connection with past civilizations and invites contemplation on how societies have evolved over time.
