Pictures of palm trees growing under an 1847 South American sun. Plates from A.D. d’Orbigny’s 1847 work, “Voyage dans l’Amérique Méridionale” (Volume 7). At that time, almost all voyages of exploration included artists who sketched and painted what they saw so almost surely these are drawn from life.
