A FINE SET OF HUMBOLDT AND BONPLAND'S MONUMENTAL WORK ON CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA, COMPLETE UP TO 1825, IN A CONTEMPORARY ENGLISH BINDING. Humboldt and Bonpland's journey through Central and South America is one of the great explorations of the American continent, and opened up the South American Continent to the scientific explorers of the 19th Century. However, this great scientific venture occured by chance. Humboldt, biologist, geographer and cosmic scientist, was born in Berlin, and after studies at the Universities of Frankfurt and Goettingen, and under George Forster in England, joined the famous Freiburg school of mines and in 1792 became director general of mines at Anspach and Bayreuth. On the death of his mother in 1796 he planned to travel, and whilst in Paris in 1798 met the botanist Bonpland who persuaded him to undertake an expedition to Egypt and North Africa. In Marseilles their vessel to take them to Tunis was delayed, and they travelled to Spain hoping to find another passage. To obtain further finance for his expenses, Humboldt approached the Berlin bankers Mendelssohn and Friedländer, who out of a sense of cultural responsibility, granted him unlimited funds in Madrid. At this point Humboldt decided to pursue his great ambition, using these funds. He managed to obtain two audiences with King Charles IV, who was impressed by his knowledge of geology and minerals, and soon they received a special passport from the Spanish government, stating that he had been requested to collect minerals and plants on a journey to Cuba, Mexico,New Granada (Colombia), Peru, Chile and Buenos Aires, permitting him to use any Spanish ship; Bonpland was declared to be his secretary. The two scientists embarked in the frigate Pizarro from Corunna for the New World in June 1799, arriving at Cumaná in Venezuela the following month, and at Caracas in February 1800. Humboldt and Bonpland's explorations in the Americas lasted 5 years and covered three regions. The first journey began at Caracas where the party spent 4 months travelling south to the river Orinoco, and from there down the river to its source, a plateau watershed, where the Casaquaire river meets the Orinoco, and goes on to join the Rio Negro, a tributary of the Amazon on the border with Brazil, thus forming a continuous waterway, a unique example of the confluence of two vast river basins in the center of a continent. The party collected numerous botanical specimens on the trip, many of which failed to survive the damp and the insects. However on their return down the Orinocco they set off for Cuba, where two plant collections were despatched to the Natural Science Museum in Madrid, and a collection of exotic animals from the rainforest to the Jardin des Plantes in Paris. Whilst at sea numerous astronomical observations were carried out. Humboldt had planned to travel via Mexico to the Phillippines, but on hearing the news that Baudin with his two ships was planning to round the Horn and stop off at Lima, Peru, the expedition set off in 1801 to meet Baudin, sailing to Cartegena in Colombia. Their instruments were sent by ship around the Horn, and they set off overland, travelling up the Magdelena river, to Bogota crossing the Cordilleras and exploring the northern Andes. They reached Quito on 6th January 1802, ascended Chimborazo (18,000 feet high) and investigated the headstream of the Amazon, descending to Lima, where they hoped to meet Baudin. Baudin however had turned back from the Horn and sailed to the Pacific via the Cape. Humboldt therefore sailed from Lima via Guayaquil to Acapulco on the west coast of Mexico arriving in March 1803. The expedition made its headquarters in Mexico City, travelling around Mexico and gathering information for almost a year. In March 1804 they departed for Cuba, returning to Bordeaux via Philadelphia where Humboldt met Jefferson, arriving back in France in August. Immediately after his return to Paris, Humboldt commenced work on his account and results of his travels. The publishing history is bibliographically quite complicated. The set in its full form published under Humboldt's direction totaled 30 volumes, 20 in folio, 10 in large quarto, to which should be added five supplementary volumes by other authors. Publication was in fascicules by a consortium of publishers: Gide, Schoell, Dufour and Maze, and later Fuchs, Gide Fils, Gide & Band, and Levrault. It is unfortunately impossible to tell from the titles of the bound volumes the publishers and dates of publication of the fascicules. The project was fantastically expensive and involved approximately 50 artists, engravers, cartographers and scientists, whose fees were all paid by Humboldt himself, although he did receive some subventions from the French and Prussian governments. The work is reputed to have cost twice as much as the official Description de l'Egypte published by the French government in 20 volumes at a cost of 3 million francs. Alone the 1300 folio copperplates are said to have cost 840,000 francs. The important text and scientific volumes had been completed by 1815, while the remaining texts and botanical volumes were mainly available by 1828. An uncolored set in 30 volumes, unbound in sheets, cost 9,574 francs. The edition was small and the French, Russian, Prussian and Austrian governments all subscribed to a number of copies for distribution to university and school libraries. Only a very few large paper colored copies of the Botanique were produced (once reputed to have been 6), and they were extremely expensive. Even during the course of the publication, some volumes went out-of-print and it was difficult to complete sets. Amongst other contributors Humboldt received important help from the German botanist Carl Sigismund Kunth (1788-1850), who joined him in Paris in 1813, to assist with the final preparation of the Botanical volumes. Bonpland had became more involved with his work at Empress Josephine's gardens at Malmaison and after her death, decided to return to South America, setting off for Buenos Aires in 1816, and travelled around Argentina and Bolivia in his search for plants.

LEAR, Edward (1812-1888). Autograph letter signed to Violet Campbell Grant, including a PEN AND INK DRAWING OF THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT entitled 'My Poetus! - it is not painful!', Villa Tennyson, San Remo, 12 January 1884 , thanking her sister for the cat's collar and explaining the original Pussycat had died, and relating the subsequent history of the Owl and the Pussycat, 'That party all eventually settled in the North East coast of New Guinea, - the Owl and the Pussycat & their 6 children, who are still living & are most lovely and & subsqueamish and reprehensible animals, & their subsqueakious history-mystery will some day be exotically & hysterically known to the public', relating their travels, and the cause of death of the Pussycat, by eating a piece of paper (to which the drawing refers) or by sucking a broomhandle made of a poisonous wood as stated later in the letter, and the fate of the Owl and their children, finishing, 'Please to read this letter to your sister Maria, - as slowly & opprobriously as you can in order to save her feelings from a too sudden shock', 4 pages, 8vo (210 x 131mm) (some slight discolouration). Lear's chance acquaintance with the Grant family occured when they were staying in San Remo on account of their father's health. After sketching on the mole, Violet Grant was returning with her governess and met Lear on the road. Lear asked the child if she liked cats, she and her family were invited to visit the Villa Tennyson to meet Foss, 'the maternal uncle of the original Pussy who went to the Bongtree Land'. On visiting Lear they were admired his study, and albums of his sketches and the garden of the villa, while he sang or asked them to help with new nonsense rhymes. The charming text of this letter relates how the Owl and the Pussycat arrived on the coast of Coromandel and their subsequent travels to New Guinea. There they met some 'savages' who, after initial cordial relations, 'threatened the Pussy cat most violently with a pair of tongs & a Pepperbox'. The cat asked the Owl to swallow a document so that it did not fall into the wrong hands, but on his refusal, swallowed it herself, 'Shortly after mutter-uttering these words, she fell off the tree & instantly perspired & became a corpse'. The owl is left desolate and departs arriving eventually in Cornwall. Lear then relates the other possible cause of death of the cat. The letters to the Grant family are unpublished.
