I had this complete and therefore valuable volume of 1865 bind for better preservation because it "List of reptiles contained on a trip in the northern America" by Maximilian Prinz zu Wied -Neuwied (1782-1867). Following Alexander von Humboldts, he undertook two several years of expeditions to North and South America. He was an officer, research traveler, ethnologist and zoologist. In North America (1832-1834) he was accompanied by the Swiss painter Karl Bodmer, from which the 5 wonderful turtle boards come (Illustrations see graphic, Bodmer). Because of this extraordinary work I visited Andreas Brahm (Chimaira) in 2010 in Frankfurt/Main.
