Four Decades of the Deep
The illustration was part of Carl Chun’s account of the Valdivia expedition, Germany’s first major deep-sea expedition. In 1898, the steamship left Hamburg; the material became so extensive that the results were published in 24 volumes over roughly four decades. The image is therefore part of a research project that continued long after the expedition had returned home.
