More about the book

Exploring the intersection of art and literature, this work delves into how European artists and writers from the late 16th to early 19th century depicted North America's natural history and landscapes, despite never having visited the continent. Through vivid illustrations and insightful commentary, it uncovers the imaginative processes that shaped these portrayals, offering a unique perspective on how distant lands were envisioned and understood by European audiences.
