Journals

This charming book revolves around the two journals Bates produced during his groundbreaking travels in the Amazon, and his classic work The Naturalist on the River Amazons.

Alongside specially selected excerpts from his book are facsimile reproductions of the pages from his journals demonstrating his talents as an artist as well as a scientist.

Bates, a trusted companion of Alfred Russel Wallace, travelled with him to the Amazon in 1848.
