"Vol. II, part 1, edited by Renate Löschner and Birgit Kirchstein-Gamber, describes 236 sketches (of which 92 are illustrated) made during the 1815-1817 expedition of Prince Maximilian zu Wied-Neuwied (1782-1867) to Brazil. The Prince was one of the most noted German travellers to describe the Americas. Borba de Moraes states that "from a scientific point of view this expedition was one of the most profitable of the nineteenth century" (II, 544); an account of it was published as Reise nach Brasilien, Frankfurt, 1820.
Vol. II, part 2, covering the correspondence and sketches of the 1815-1817 expedition, is beautifully illustrated with over 100 color plates, among them drawings of monkeys, birds, reptiles, frogs, a jellyfish, a wasp's nest, etc.  This volume was edited by Birgit Kirschstein-Gamber, Susanne Koppel and Renate Löschner, with an introduction by Dorothea Kuhn" (Richard Ramer).
