They were relevant because of their stories, engravings, watercolors, and maps were known and praised as real portraits of Peruvian wild nature by European public. Although Castrucci, Osculati, and Raimondi share a common exotifying point of view, they also expressed different emphasis and interests on their approaches to the Amazon region as an object of inquiry. In the case of Castrucci, he focused on depicting Amazon’s peoples and customs, that he considered savage and uncivilized. Osculati, in the other hand, was interested in exploring new and exotic places pursuing scientific recognition as a nationalist expeditionary. Finally, Raimondi wanted to inform the public, authorities, and the scientific world about the Amazonian region’s potential to boost Peruvian development. These three travelers’ endeavors flourished in a very specific 19th century context: the growing nationalism that included the use of science to gain prestige through exhibitions, cabinets, scientific associations, and scientific collections....
