Colours: Muted tone colour, depiction of Andes by Aime Bonpland.
Design: Revealed different layers of earth and vegetation zones. Illusionistic watercolour with a cutaway diagram labeled with plants (shown at the altitudes where they found them)/species
Goal: Affirmed his belief that the distribution of plants around the globe could be correlated based on the altitude and the rock underneath. (Humboldt refined his theory that everything on the planet was interrelated).
Unity of nature - the plants, animals and climate are related in ecosystems.
