Mouth of the Ohio

Description

Bodmer made several drawings at the confluence of the Ohio with the Mississippi on one or another of his voyages downriver from New Harmony. This sketch may have been done when he first descended the Ohio en route to New Orleans in January 1833, or when he followed the same route with Maximilian two months later.
