Maria Graham, Alexander von Humboldt, women travelers, Dragon TreeAbstract
Humboldt’s model to register nature inspired women travelers all through the 19th Century. His influence
is remarkable in the written and graphic works by the British traveler Maria Graham. This paper analyses one illustration extracted from the journals she kept during her trip to Brazil. It portrays the legendary Dragon Tree, a millenary tree situated in the Tenerife Island, often cited for its exotic appearance and medical properties. The tree
was linked with a variety of contexts, both religious and secular, and it appeared in many books of natural history.
