About the Book

Un pays est un livre que chaque voyageur a le droit de commenter à sa manière, en s'appuyant sur la vérité. I Départ de Paris - La Vera-Cruz - Saint-Jean d'Ulloa - Aspect général de la ville - Le port - Le môle - Excursion aux environs - Le nord à Vera-Cruz - Le départ - Medellín - La route de Mexico Chargé d'une mission par le ministre d'État, à l'effet d'explorer les ruines américaines, je quittai Paris le 7 avril 1857, me dirigeant sur Liverpool par New Haven et Londres: deux amis m'accompagnaient. Le lendemain, nous étions à bord de l'America, paquebot transatlantique de la compagnie Cunard, en partance pour Boston. Je l'avoue humblement, quoiqu'ayant beaucoup voyagé, je ne m'embarque jamais sans une certaine appréhension; je n'aime point l'Océan, il me fait peur. Je suis peut-être moins poète qu'homme de mer, et, dès l'instant du départ, je ne rêve qu'au jour de l'arrivée. Voyez à quoi peut tenir une question d'art. En mer, j'ai le coeur sensible, un autre ne l'a point; il admire tout, rien n'est beau pour moi; je suis malade, il est bien portant. Je ne dirai rien d'un séjour de huit mois aux États-Unis: c'est pourtant un beau voyage que celui qui vous montre New York et Boston, le Saint-Laurent, ses chutes et ses rapides, les Grands Lacs, le Niagara, les plaines de l'Ouest et le parcours prodigieux du Mississippi. Je réserve à ces belles choses une étude à part, et j'arrive à Vera-Cruz, où nous abordâmes à la fin de novembre. On donne généralement à Vera-Cruz une physionomie orientale; quelques coupoles assez basses pourraient seules rappeler le style des mosquées, mais il faudrait une bonne volonté singulière pour prêter à ses lourds clochers l'élégance des minarets. Quant à ces bouquets de verdure qui distinguent et réjouissent les villes d'Orient, on ne trouve à la porte de Mexico que cinq à six palmiers rabougris, seuls échantillons de l'espèce; encore n'existent-ils plus aujourd'hui. Vu de la mer, l'aspect de Vera-Cruz est des moins flatteurs; c'est une ligne monotone de maisons basses, noircies par les pluies et par les vents du nord. Les bâtiments de la douane, d'un style moderne, et la porte monumentale qui les décore sont, en fait d'architecture, ce que la ville offre de plus remarquable.
About the Author: Claude-Joseph Le Désiré Charnay, dit Désiré Charnay, né le 2 mai 1828 à Fleurieux-sur-l'Arbresle, mort le 24 octobre 1915, est un explorateur, archéologue et photographe français. Très vite passionné par les voyages, il décide de faire le tour du monde pour en recueillir un album photographique et topographique des lieux les plus célèbres ou les plus intéressants . Après avoir enseigné le français à l'âge de 23 ans à la Nouvelle Orléans, il part pour sa première expédition au Mexique, via les États-Unis, entre 1857 et 1860. Avec cette mission, il est le premier à photographier les sites de Mitla, Izamal et Chichén Itzá. Il obtient après ce voyage une certaine reconnaissance, en publiant en 1862 l'album photographique Cités et ruines américaines . Ses territoires d'investigation ne se limitent pas à la Mésoamérique il part pour Madagascar en 1863, puis à Java et en Australie en 1878. Tout au long de sa vie, il organise des missions pour photographier des nouveaux lieux, tout en retournant régulièrement au Mexique, en 1880-1882 et en 1886.
