"Fort Clark on the Missouri, February 1834" is a notable aquatint by Swiss artist Karl Bodmer, which serves as plate 15 in Volume 2 of the book "Travels in the Interior of North America." The work is part of a series that documents Bodmer's journey alongside German prince and naturalist Maximilian of Wied-Neuwied between 1832 and 1834. This expedition aimed to study the indigenous peoples and the landscapes of the North American interior, particularly the region of the Upper Missouri River.

The aquatint depicts Fort Clark, a trading post near present-day Washburn, North Dakota, which was operated by the American Fur Company during the time of Bodmer's visit. The fort was named after William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition and was a significant hub for trade with the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara tribes. Bodmer's image captures the fort in the winter, offering a detailed view of the fort's structures against the backdrop of the frozen Missouri River and the stark winter landscape.

Bodmer's work is highly regarded for its ethnographic accuracy and artistic quality, providing a valuable historical record of the Northern Plains before the significant changes brought by westward expansion. The aquatint is part of a larger collection of Bodmer's works that are considered some of the most important and early representations of the American West and its Native American inhabitants. The original aquatints from "Travels in the Interior of North America" are sought after by collectors and are held in various museum collections, testifying to their enduring significance in the art and history of the United States.
