Krátky popis
The king of plams. This is Martius' magnificent work on the
varieties of palm tree. On 15 December 1868, Carl Friedrich Philipp
von Martius, Professor of Botany at the University of Munich and
director of the Royal Botanic Garden, was carried to his grave in a
coffin covered with fresh palm leaves. These were a reference to
his groundbreaking ",Historia naturalis palmarum: opus
tripartitum", (",Natural History of Palms",: a work in three
volumes), published between 1823-1850. At the time, this
encyclopedic treasury contained the sum of human knowledge on the
topic, and included 240 exquisite chromolithographic illustrations,
including landscape views of palm habitats and botanical
dissections. This epic folio was based on Martius' expedition to
Brazil and Peru with zoologist Johann Baptist von Spix, sponsored
by King Maximilian I of Bavaria, to investigate natural history and
tribal Indians. From 1817 to 1820 the pair travelled over 2,250 km
(1,400 miles) throughout the Amazon Basin, the most species-rich
palm region in the world, collecting and sketching specimens. On
their return both men were awarded knighthoods and lifetime
pensions. In his epic work, Martius outlined the modern
classification of palm, produced the first maps of palm
biogeography, described all the palms of Brazil, and collated the
sum of all known general of the palm family. For apart from his own
collection of specimens and notes, Martius also wrote about the
findings of others. Martius' folio is unusual in its inclusion of
cross-sectioned diagrams, conveying the architecture of these
mighty trees, which central Europeans would have found hard to
imagine accurately. Equally remarkable are the color landscapes
showing various palms - often standing alone - which have a simple
and elegant beauty. This famous work is an unrivaled landmark in
botanic illustration and taxonomy.
