EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned naturalist and explorer, Alexander Humboldt. Created in 1830 by Lizars Steel engraving with hand coloring, it beautifully captures the essence of Humboldt's character and accomplishments. The image is based on a painting from 1806 by Friedrich Weitsch. Humboldt, a German scientist, dedicated his life to exploring and studying the wonders of South America between 1799 and 1804. His groundbreaking work, "Travels in the Equinoctial Regions of the New World" profoundly influenced young Charles Darwin before his famous Beagle voyage. Humboldt's insatiable curiosity led him to attempt an ambitious synthesis of geography and natural science through his monumental work called "Kosmos". Throughout his long life, Humboldt gained immense fame and respect for his contributions to various fields. Countless geographical features and species have been named after this illustrious explorer who left an indelible mark on biogeography. Paul D. Stewart's masterful artistry brings this historical figure back to life in vivid detail. This print not only celebrates Humboldt as a celebrity within scientific circles but also highlights his significant impact on popular science literature during the 19th century. As we gaze upon this remarkable illustration, we are reminded of Alexander von Humboldt's unwavering dedication to exploration, discovery, and understanding our world's intricate tapestry of nature.
