HUMBOLDT, (Alexandre de).
Aime Bonpland.
Vues des cordillieres et monument des peuples indignes de l'Amerique.
Alexander von Humboldt, a German naturalist and explorer of the 18th and 19th centuries. Published in Paris in 1816, these books present the results of his expeditions to South America, particularly the Andes and Cordillera mountain ranges. They contain detailed descriptions of landscapes, indigenous cultures, and Humboldt's scientific discoveries, as well as illustrations, some of which are coloured. These works had a significant impact on the geographical, scientific, and cultural understanding of South America at the time of their publication and continue to be studied for their historical and scientific importance.
