Mouth of the Fox River by Sigismond Himely after Karl Bodmer
Academician / American / French / Landscape - 1 year ago - troycapc
This is a reproduction of “Mouth of the Fox River in Indiana” by Sigismund Himley. He created this aquatint based on the watercolor by Karl Bodmer that was created on December 6, 1832 near New Harmony, Indiana. Himley’s aquatint was hand-colored via etching with roulette on paper. The scene is on the lower Wabash River near its confluence with the Ohio River further downstream from New Harmony, Indiana. The Swiss Himely was thirty-six years old when this was produced and he died twenty-nine years later in Paris.
