Work based on Humboldt's travels, with French doctor and botanist Aimé́ Bonpland, to Venezuela, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru between 1799 and 1804, often considered the founding work of American anthropology. Humboldt's travels, experiments, and knowledge transformed Western science. He and Bonpland were especially interested in botany, antiquities, minerals, geography, and geology, as shown by the large folded plate of a view of the great Andean volcano Chimborazo. Humboldt also included some of the first extensive reproductions of New World codices from the Columbian era, such as Codex Mendoza and the Dresden Codex
