The Steamer Yellow-stone is a 1839 ink by Karl Bodmer, a Romanticism work, depicting Water Transport, held at National Gallery of Art.
This 1839 print shows a steamboat named *Yellow-stone* on a river. The sky is dark. Steam rises from the boat’s smokestack. Trees line the far bank. Karl Bodmer made this with etching and aquatint. He added color by hand. The river looks calm but the sky feels stormy. The boat was new then. Big paddle wheels push it forward. Look up the artist Bodmer, Karl.
Johann Carl Bodmer (11 February 1809 – 30 October 1893) was a Swiss-French printmaker, etcher, lithographer, zinc engraver, draughtsman, painter, illustrator, and hunter.
