Title
Le Chimborazo vu depuis le plateau de Tapia
Description
Français : Parti en Amérique du Sud pour un voyage d’exploration scientifique, le baron et naturaliste prussien Alexander von Humboldt tente en 1802 la première ascension connue du Chimborazo, dans les Andes équatoriennes. Culminant à 6 263 m, le volcan passe à l’époque pour être le plus haut sommet de la Terre. Humboldt et Bonpland parviennent à l’altitude remarquable de 5 878 m, avant de devoir s’arrêter en raison d’une crevasse et de la raréfaction de l’oxygène. Ils établissent alors un record, même si l’on sait depuis que les Incas avaient atteint des sommets supérieurs à 6 000 m. Humboldt fait de cette eau-forte colorée, dessinée par Thibault d’après sa propre esquisse, le « principal ornement de [son] ouvrage », et tient à faire représenter les contrastes dus à l’étagement de la végétation, ainsi que lamas et Amérindiens se rendant au marché afin d’en donner l’échelle. - Bibliothèque municipale de Lyon, mis en ligne sur Numelyo
