MtMan-List: Re: Bodmer material

["Barry Conner" <buck.conner@worldnet.att.net>]

Ladies & Gentlemen,

For your information there is a good article on "Karl Bodmer's Journey" in
the Feb. 1999 issue of "Early American Homes" on page 52 to page 59. Shows
some pictures that we normally do not see from the east, like "Mauch Chunk"
Pennsylvania 1832, the Industrial Revolution in America, "Niagara Falls"
1833 or "Fox River" shown at the confluence with the Wabash in1833. An
interesting landscape of Bethlehem Pennsylvania, when Bodmer made his visit,
there were 1,000 people located in the area.

The article tells about his eastern experience, but best of all lets us know
that the Joslyn Museum in Omaha has his books and prints available and can
be ordered over the phone with a credit card. (402) 342-3300 phone / open
from 10 am to 4 pm Mon. - Fri.

"Karl Bodmer's America" (2nd printing) list for $110  on sale for $100
"Karl Bodmer's Eastern Views" is $29.95
They charge $10.00 postage for 2nd day del. and that's how long it took for
mine to arrive. When ordering ask for "Karl Bodmer Mail Order Opportunties",
this is a listing of available prints for sale starting at $5 and going to
$30, plus a color flyer with small pictures of the prints. Tell the wife it
would make a good Christmas present and she still has time to get it.

Later

Buck
