ALEXANDER VON HUMBOLDT: The Complete Drawings from the American Travel Diaries
In an expedition to Spain's colonies in the New World, Humboldt drew everything he saw--Incan ruins, electric eels, the transit of Mercury, silver mines, and ocean currents. Structured thematically, the 450 illustrations have been painstakingly reproduced, complete with handwritten notes, ink stains and water spots. Slipcased.
