Henry W. Bates Livres

This book documents Bates' ground-breaking Amazon exploration, with pages from his illustrated notebooks and excerpts from what Charles Darwin called 'the best book of natural history travels ever published'.

Henry Walter Bates was an English naturalist and explorer who gave the first scientific account of mimicry in animals. He was most famous for his expedition to the rainforests of the Amazon with Alfred Russel Wallace, which took place between 1848 and 1852. Upon returning home eleven years after his departure, Bates wrote down his findings. The Naturalist on the River Amazons, published in two volumes, has become his best-known work. The second volume focuses on the events and discoveries which had taken place between their stay at Santarem and their final departure for England.
