Nuevo Viajero Universal, enciclopedia de viajes modernos, recopilacion de las obras mas notables sobre descubrimientos, exploraciones y aventuras, publicada por los mas célebres viajeros del siglo XIX. ... adornada con profusion de mapas, láminas sueltas y grabados, etc
A Spanish travel encyclopedia compiled by Nemesio Fernández Cuesta in 1859, gathering accounts of nineteenth-century exploration and discovery for general readers, and issued with maps, loose plates and wood engravings. The plates are full-page wood engravings printed sideways with rounded or arched corners and Spanish captions below, showing river and desert horizons, palm clumps, and files of spear-carrying figures crossing open ground — useful for silhouetted crowd groupings, plate borders, and pale, open-sky backgrounds.
