The use of this convention prevents us from having to resort to more uneconomic options such as bartering or the production of other goods \"for example, gold or silver\" that can play this role.

Inspired by the study trips of Humboldt—the German scientist and humanist—he undertook various journeys that took him to various places in the world. Among these, in 1853, he toured remote and exotic places in Colombia and Ecuador. This book provides innovative documentation of the trip and shows for the first time to the world most of the sketches and drawings made during that journey, which reside in the Cooper-Hewitt Museum in New York. Pablo Navas Sanz de Santamaría's extensive research for this study reveals ignored plastic and human facets of the painter.
