Together about 15,000 pp. of text. A complete facsimile of the first edition of Humboldt’s monumental report of his scientific expeditions to South America, Central America and Cuba, one of the greatest publications in the history of exploration and still an important primary source today for its contributions to topography, geography, zoology, botany, ethnography and geology. Also included is the nine-volume English translation. The research took place during three expeditions to different regions, each with its own scientific objectives:
1. The exploration of the Orinoco River, 16 July 1977 to 24 November 1800, covering 2000 square miles of uncharted and mostly unexplored jungle.
2. Travels to Cuba and through Peru, Colombia, Equador from 24 November 1800 to 5 December 1802.
3. Researches in Mexico, from 5 december 1802 to May 1804. The voyages led to many discoveries and scientific by-products, and the participants catalogued and drew 8000 plants, 4000 not previously described. They established the cause of periodic meteor showers, and gave a scientific basis to the geography of the territories visited.
