Anotácia knihy

The Cartography of Alexander von Humboldt: Images of §the Enlightenment in America offers a cartographic §perspective of Alexander von Humboldt s journey to §the Americas, 1799-1804. Presented in the context of §the European Enlightenment, this study includes §Humboldt s romanticized view of the natural world §that was an essential part of his science and §philosophy. It interprets Humboldt s maps and images §as part of a transatlantic exchange, incorporating §the theme of old Europe and the New World found §throughout his work. Humboldt effectively used §images in the presentation of his ideas, a concept §that has been adopted throughout this study. When §combined with text, images permit a closer reading §of the subject matter than text alone. Just as the §vivid and dramatic paintings of David and Goya §provide clarity to the philosophical writing of the §age, Humboldt s maps and illustrations serve as §visual images of the Enlightenment in early §nineteenth-century America.
