This Atlas Pittoresque is one of the most important publications resulting from Humboldt's and Bonpland's journey through Central and South America (1799-1804). The discoveries amassed by Humboldt and Bonpland were staggering, and much of today s knowledge of tropical zoology, botany, geography, and geology can be traced back to Humboldt s numerous records of these expeditions.
