Landscape painter Vincent Colyer (1825-1888), was an artist and United States government official. He created images of the American West, especially American Indian subjects, landscapes, and botanical specimens. In 1869 he visited Alaska on behalf of the Board of Indian Commissioners, which the United States Congress created in April 1869 to advise on the impact of federal policy on American Indians and to inspect supplies delivered to Indian agencies in fulfillment of treaty obligations. An executive order terminated the board in 1933.
