| Sumario: | Pavie was born in Angers, France. He arrived to Montevideo in 1833. From there he went to Buenos Aires. He traversed the Pampa to Cordoba, San Luis and Mendoza. He crossed The Andes to Santiago de Chile, then went to Valparaiso and finally to Lima. He returned to Europe in 1834. He composed drawings of the Cerro de Montevideo, the coast of the La Plata estuary in Buenos Aires showing its terraced levels, and a view of the mouth of the Riachuelo with the La Punta Island, a geoform that does not exist today. He also made several compositions on the Sierras Pampeanas and, specially, on his trip across The Andes by the Uspallata Pass. His account of the crossing of this mountain range constantly referred to the weather stiffness of the last days of that winter. Pavie’s observations matches well with the historical series of the Mendoza River runoff which indicate that the spring of 1833 and the summer of 1834 was a period of high flow, normally related to the presence of abundant snow. Illustrations of Chile and Peru landscapes complete the compositions. |
