This book is the illustrated catalog of an exhibit commemorating the life of Francisco José de Caldas (1768–1816) that opened in December 2018 at the Museo Nacional de Colombia to mark the 250th anniversary of Caldas’s birth. This beautifully produced volume features high-quality images of more than 100 maps, objects, and documents related to Caldas’s scientific activities, drawn from museums, archives, and libraries in Colombia, Spain, and Germany. An accompanying essay by José Antonio Amaya, curator at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, and Ivàn Felipe Suàrez Lozano, curator at the Casa Museo Francisco José de Caldas, provides a biographical portrait of Caldas, while also explaining the historical significance of various items featured in the exhibit catalog. A shorter essay by Esther Garcìa Guillén provides a review of a small but rich collection of Caldas’s correspondence, sketches, drawings, reports, maps, and other documents at the Archivo del Real Jardìn Botànico inMadrid, where she is a curator.
