Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Under the Direction of the Government Printing Office, 1861, Office of Explorations and Surveys, A.A. Humphreys, Captain Topographical Engineers, in Charge, foldout maps. Farquhar Bibliography #21. In five parts: General Report (131pp.), Hydrographic Report (14pp.), Geological Report by Newberry (154pp. plus plates), Botany by Gray, Torrey, and Englemann (30pp.) and Zoology by Baird (6pp.), plus appendixes on meteorology. Eight panoramics by Egloffstein; 12 full-page engravings, and 7 Indian plates reproduced here in color. In addition there are 41 woodcuts. Farquhar has high praise for Ives: ".one of the most desirable books in the Colorado River field, for it is the first that deals specifically with the river itself. Moreover, the illustrations are remarkable: those from Möllhausen's sketches are often admirable.two from photographs represent perhaps the first use of the camera in Arizona, certainly on the Colorado River." J. S. Newberry's contribution as expedition geologist is especially significant, for Newberry was the first to postulate a geologic theory on the origin of Grand Canyon. All plates, foldout maps (2) and Indian portraits present and in Very Good condition. Former owner's interesting bookplate signed by former owner and a small penned gift inscription by Hon. Luther Hanchett at the bottom of the first blank endpaper dated 1861. Some minor foxing and off-setting as normal in this title. Older rebind, marbled boards, leather spine and corners, title and author in gilt on spine, wear to corners and edges. Internally a very nice copy. A handsome item for your library. PRESCOTT, AZ.
