Welcome to Litsy!

I found this book to be very interesting. I originally got it for research into a character I was writing. It helped immensely. I definitely recommend this to any explorer or history buff.

Not feeling the best today and so I'm home on the couch with Sophie. I picked up this book recently thinking to do some character research for a novel I've been writing and it's very interesting! It has detailed pages from explorers such as Merriweather Lewis to David Livingstone and Alfred Russell Wallace. It's not all drawings by the way. It explains their trips and their research as well. Definitely worth a peek!

This book is gorgeous! It contains short biographies of various explorers and naturalists along with pages from their journals and sketchbooks that they kept on various outings. There are quick sketches, watercolors, photographs and written notes. This is a short read about some early explorers, some no longer well-remembered, with a lot of artwork that is stunning.
