"With over 100 stunning lithographs and engravings from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, many reproduced here from the first time since their original publication and accompanied by portions of the original explanatory texts, Rudwick argues that scientists and artists made earth history visually compelling as evidence from nature supplanted the biblical view of the distant past." Square octavo: xiii, [1], 280 pp. with 106 textual figures. Original green cloth binding, with gilt-stamped titles. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket.
