unapi

Alexander von Humboldt’s extensive correspondence with the French natural scientist Jean-Baptiste Boussingault has been preserved almost in its entirety. These two scholars corresponded with each other virtually over their entire lives, starting in1822 and ending just weeks before Humboldt’s death in 1859. Boussingault spent ten years exploring Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador, places where Humboldt had traveled a quarter century before.
