EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment from the historic "Expedition to America" led by Alexander von Humboldt and Aime Bonpland in the late 18th century. The explorers are seen descending the Orenoque River, surrounded by the majestic and towering trees of the Amazon forest in Cano Pimichin, Venezuela. The image is taken from "The Great Mariners of the 18th century" a renowned publication from 1879 that forms part of Jules Verne's three-volume masterpiece, "The General History of Great Voyages and of Frequent Travelers". It showcases an unknown artist's skillful illustration that transports us back to this significant expedition. As we gaze at this artwork, we can almost feel the sense of adventure and wonder experienced by Humboldt and Bonpland as they ventured into uncharted territories. Their mission was not only to explore but also to study various aspects of nature, including geography, botany, zoology, and geology. This image serves as a testament to their bravery and dedication in unraveling the mysteries hidden within these vast landscapes. It reminds us of their invaluable contributions to scientific knowledge during a time when exploration played a crucial role in expanding our understanding of the world. Preserved in private collection today, this photograph allows us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical significance. It stands as a tribute not only to von Humboldt and Bonpland but also to all those intrepid explorers who have shaped our understanding of distant lands throughout history.
