- Biography (note)
- The Swiss-born artist Karl Bodmer (sometimes known as Carl or Charles) accompanied his patron Prince Maximilien of Wied-Neuwied on a scientific expedition to North America in 1833-1834. His paintings chronicled Native Americans in a way of life that was soon to vanish. His depictions of the Mandan Indians of North Dakota are particularly poignant in the light of the fact that the tribe was decimated by smallpox in 1837.
