| 520 | |a ?This stunning volume delves into the extraordinary illustrated notebooks of Alexander von Humboldt's journeys through the Americas, which reveal the graphic musings of an intrepid explorer, a writer and philosopher and the father of the environmental movement. At the dawn of the 19th century, the Prussian explorer was granted permission to charter an expedition to Spain's colonies in the New World. Over the course of five years, Humboldt would travel to the Orinoco and Amazon rivers, predict the agricultural and commercial potential of Cuba, climb higher in the Andes than anyone before him and acknowledge the achievements of the ancient indigenous American civilizations. He recorded it all in a series of diaries. On occasion of the 250th anniversary of Humboldt's birth, the drawings from these diaries are now available in a Large format, slip-cased edition. Structured thematically, the illustrations have been painstakingly reproduced, complete with handwritten notes, ink stains and water spots. In addition to being remarkably well preserved, these drawings offer tremendous insight into Humboldt's prescient observations.?. | ||
