View of a Farm on the Illinois Prairie
Description
Bodmer produced a finished watercolor of an Illinois homestead after his return to Europe. Based on earlier studies obtained during the winter of 1832-331 this view may have been intended for inclusion in the series of aquatints illustrating Maximilian's travel account, but it did not appear in the published atlas of 1839-43.
