Earlier work by Gautier and Bodmer was 'Imprimerie de L’Illustration', in 1870. From Van Gogh’s letters to Gautier 'And do you know what seems excellent to me? - that a patient should breathe fresh air from a book'. Karl Bodmer (February 6, 1809-October 30, 1893) was a Swiss painter who lived in America. He returned to Europe, where he became a French citizen, where upon he changed his name to "Charles Bodmer". Today the majority of his works are based in the USA.
