Library stamps throughout on back of prints.Moran's famous painting"The Grand Caņon of the Yellowstone" (1872) was the first landscape the government hung in the Capitol. It was purchased in June 1872, just three months after Congress voted to establish the Yellowstone area as the country's first national park. By 1873 Moran was in demand as an exploration artist. His work had been widely published, and The Grand Caņon of the Yellowstone had been favorably reviewed in newspapers and journals. Capt. Clarence Dutton (1841-1912 ) focused his early field work on the Colorado Plateau. Out of it came a trilogy of related studies: Report on the Geology of the High Plateaus of Utah (1880), the Tertiary History of the Grand Caņon District (1882), and Mount Taylor and the Zuņi Plateau (1886). His description of this erosion-sculpted terrain enshrined Dutton, along with Powell and G. K. Gilbert, into the founding pantheon of geomorphology and the "American school" of geology.

Folio (20.5" x 18"), original gilt cloth, rebacked with original spine laid down. [4], 22 double-page plates, 10 tinted and chromolithographic views, 12 chromolithographic maps. CONDITION: Very good, one dampstain at right margin of text block affecting first few leaves, no effect on plates, some tissue guards creased. Dutton's spectacular atlas of the Grand Canyon, published in connection with the Powell Geological Survey, with a fine series of chromolithographic maps and views after artists Thomas Moran and William Henry Holmes. The first publication of the United States Geological Survey, this atlas stands as one of the most remarkable publications resulting from any western survey. Arising from Dutton's time on John Powell's survey of the Grand Canyon in 187981, the atlas and accompanying monograph were projects Dutton had inherited from Powell, who had intended to write it years before. Proposed as part of a series to include works by Powell and Grove K. Gilbert, the greatest American geologist of the nineteenth century, Dutton's were the only publications to come to fruition. While Dutton's text elegantly described the geological history of the Canyon region, paying minute attention to the volcanic activity which he specialized in, the atlas, containing lithographic and wood-engraved views after the drawings of William H. Holmes and Thomas Moran, marked a clear break from European-style depictions of the Canyon. Where previous illustrations of the Canyon had favored green tones and gray hues, "Holmes's sketches and panoramas, on the other hand, are all but photographic in their depiction of realityThe flavor of the country is squeezed out, and the image of the Colorado Plateau and its marvelous chasm are corrected forever in science and literatureHolmes had seen the country with the eyes of an artist and a scientist" (Anderson). The plates after Holmes include a "View of the Temples and Towers of the Virgen," a "view looking eastward from Vulcan's Throne disclosing the Inner Gorge of the Grand Caņon, the great esplanade, and the upper or outer walls on either hand," "the Panorama from Point Sublime in the Kaibab," among others, while the lithograph after Thomas Moran depicts "the Transeptlateral gorge opening into one of the branches of the Bright Angel Amphitheatre in the Kaibab." Editor and compiler of the atlas Clarence Edward Dutton (18411912), the son of a Connecticut-based boot salesman, was a Yale University graduate and Civil War Captain. After the war, in the 1870s, Dutton became friends with Grand Canyon explorer John Wessley Powell, the two bonding over their shared interests in artillery and geology. In 1875, the War Department attached Captain Dutton to Powell's survey, during which he would explore and map the volcanic activity in the Kaibab and North Rim regions of the Canyon from 18791881. Opting for descriptive illustrations instead of purely artistic renditions, Dutton's decision to enlist Thomas Moran and William Henry Holmes as the Canyon's artists resulted in the most accurate depictions of the region up to that time. Artist William Henry Holmes (18461933) was, among other things, an anthropologist, archaeologist, draftsman, and museum director, who began his illustration practice by depicting the fossils and specimens for Fielding B. Meek's paleontological reports from 1871. From 18721879, while serving on the Hayden expedition, he helped to illustrate views of Yellowstone, the Mount of the Holy Cross in Colorado, and other Western sites. After providing highly detailed drawings and watercolors of the Grand Canyon region for Dutton in 1882, Holmes taught anthropology at the University of Chicago and directed the Bureau of American Ethnography and National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. Julius Bien (18261909) is best known for his elephant chromolithographic folio edition of Audubon's Birds of America, printed between 1858 and 1862. Last notes that "in the 1860s Bien began to specialize in the production of lithographed maps and charts. For the rest of the century, he produced maps for nearly all the major American geographical and geological publications and for the decennial census reports. Bien developed new coloring and shading techniques, was an early user of photolithography, and was instrumental in establishing scientific standards for American cartography" (Last). Bien's innovations in color printing provided the lithographers replicating Moran and Holmes with the ability to render the most accurate views of the Canyon at the time, while also helping Dutton to distinguish geological features on his maps.
