Zusammenfassung:The cradle of exotica -- Novelties on the Nile -- Knowing the unknown -- Exotica and Europe -- True and proper pictures -- Crossing the Atlantic
Ever since the creation of the world's first zoological and botanical gardens 5,000 years ago, people have collected, displayed, and depicted animals and plants from lands far beyond their everyday experience. "Strange and Wonderful" offers a richly illustrated journey across millennia and around the globe to explore the root of this phenomenon in art.
