	Lewis & Clark: Art of the Upper Missouri
		Magic happened when 24-year-old Swiss artist Karl Bodmer added a little of the Big Muddy to his watercolors and began to paint landscapes and Indian people of the Upper Missouri River Valley.
		Meanwhile, Bodmer dashed off another sketch of the warrior, which he showed to him, tore and burned in the fire.
		Thus, Bodmer's watercolors were primarily intended as ånotes' for the eventual process of engraving the copper plates that were to be used to make aquatint prints, a number of which were then hand colored for the most expensive of the various editions.

		The earliest of the outsider views comes from Karl Bodmer, a Swiss illustrator who, as a young member of a German scientific expeditionary team in America in the early 183Os, made numerous ethnographic, botanical, and zoological sketches (and later, at home in his studio, fine paintings from some of the sketches).
		Though Bodmer did do botanical and zoological drawings on the expedition, this book is devoted to his ethnographic work, presently housed in the Newberry Library in Chicago-not only beautifully reproduced finished portraits and village scenes, but also preliminary sketches from the field and discussion by the book's editors on the accuracy of the expedition's data.
		Bodmer may be praised because he did not romanticize his subjects.
