Prince Alexander Philipp Maximilian zu Wied-Neuwied (1782 – 1867) was a Germanexplorer, ethnologist and naturalist who led a pioneering expedition to southeast Brazil between 1815–1817. In 1832 he embarked on another expedition, this time to North America, together with the Swiss painter Karl Bodmer.

Karl Bodmer (1809 – 1893) was a Swiss born printmaker, etcher, lithographer, drafts man, painter and illustrator.

Karl Bodmer was well known in Germany for his watercolors, drawings and aquatints of cities and landscapes. - He is best known in the United States as a painter who captured the American West of the 19th century with extremely accurate depictions of its inhabitants. He accompanied German explorer Prince Maximilian of Wied-Neuwied from 1832 through 1834 on his Missouri River expedition. He was hired as an artist by Maximilian with the specific intent of traveling through the American West and recording images of cities, rivers, towns and people, including many images of Native Americans along the Missouri and that region.
