About this Item

Original double-page chromolithographed map of a section of the the Grand Canyon (overall dimensions 83.5 x 50.5 cm, map dimensions 46.5 x 65 cm) from Dutton's Atlas to Accompany the Monograph on the Tertiary History of the Grand Caņon District. Folding down the centre as issued. Ex libris Manchester Geological Society with two of their library stamps to margins. Generally very good. Clarence E. Dutton began working on his Tertiary History of the Grand Canon District while he was a member of the Powell survey. The Atlas beautifully illustrates the Grand Canyon with the use of color lithography by Julius Bien. Tertiary History was important both as a work of art and as the scientific foundation upon which subsequent mapping was based. It is one of the most important cartographic works devoted to the Grand Canyon.
