Other Notes: |
From the same time period as the “The Steamer Yellowstone” print, but not specifically dated in Bodmer’s notes. There are several original watercolors of the snags, particularly one that is dated April 25, 1833, but they do not show the “Yellowstone”. That was added during the engraving process. See Bodmer bio for more details on the publication. | ||||
