For your consideration is this 1884 edition of, "América Pintoresca" from the accounts of notable explorers Carlos Wiener, Doctor Crevaux, Désiré Charnay, and more, and published by Montaner y Simón in Barcelona. This book offers European viewpoints on the Americas in the 19th century and functions as both a historical record and an aesthetically striking travelogue. In addition to showing indigenous civilizations, colonial development, and the enormous natural vistas of the Americas, it examines themes of exploration, discovery, and cross-cultural interactions. It offers an intriguing, but frequently Eurocentric, perspective on the people and locations these explorers visited through extensive tales and striking black and white illustrations. Native American traditions, architectural wonders, natural wonders, and the effects of European influence on the continent are all covered in the text. It has raised bands, elaborate gilt tooling, and gold lettering on the spine that reads "America Pintoresca" and "1884", and is encased in a nice red leather hardback cover. It shows wear from its age and use over the years such as scuffing to the cover, spine and foxing noted throughout the interior pages, but no signs of major damage is noted. It measures 12 1/8" L x 9" W x 1 7/8" D and weighs 5 pounds and 14 ounces.
