WIKIPEDIA BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION: Henri Mouhot [May 15, 1826 -November 10, 1861] was a French naturalist and explorer of the mid-19th century. He was born in Montbéliard France. . * Mouhot is often mistakenly credited with "discovering" Angkor, although Angkor was never lost the location and existence of the entire series of Angkor sites was always known to the Khmers and had been visited by several westerners since the 16th century. Mouhot mentions in his journals that his contemporary, Father Charles Emile Bouillevaux, a French missionary based in Battambang who had reported that he and other western explorers and missionaries had visited Angkor Wat and the other Khmer temples, at least five years before Mouhot. Father Bouillevaux published his accounts in 1857: "Travel in Indochina 1848-1846, The Annam and Cambodia". Previously, a Portuguese trader Diogo do Couto visited Angkor and wrote his accounts about it in 1550, and the Portuguese monk Antonio da Magdalena had also written about his visit to Angkor Wat in 1586. . Mouhot did however popularize Angkor in the West. Perhaps none of the previous European visitors wrote as evocatively as Mouhot, who included interesting and detailed sketches. In his posthumously published "Travels in Siam, Cambodia and Laos" Mouhot compared Angkor to the pyramids, for it was popular in the west at that time to ascribe the origin of all civilization to the Middle East. For example, he described the Buddha heads at the gateways to Angkor Thom as "four immense heads in the Egyptian style," and wrote of Angkor: . Mouhot also wrote: "At Ongcor, there are .ruins of such grandeur. that, at the first view, one is filled with profound admiration, and cannot but ask what has become of this powerful race, so civilized, so enlightened, the authors of these gigantic works?" Quoted from Wikipedia . *** SPECIFIC COPY DETAILS: . COPY 6 is volume 2 of 2 ONLY. It is bound in the publisher's original green cloth with gold stamped spine titles. . It has a mended front hinge, with wear to the spine head/tails, and a brown cl.…
