"[Facsimile] Atlas to Accompany the Monograph on the Tertiary History of the Grand Canon District", Dutton, Clarence Edward

This is a gorgeous facsimile reprint of Dutton's famous atlas of the Grand Canyon, published by Peregrine Smith, Inc. The atlas contains 23 sheets and is best known for the stunning illustrations by William H. Holmes and Thomas Moran. Holmes' impressive Panorama From Point Sumblime is shown on three separate sheets (Sheet XV, XVI and XVII) and creates a striking 270 degree panorama of the Grand Canyon (East-South-West). Sheet XVIII, The Transept, Kaibab Division, Grand Canon An Amphitheater of the Second Order, is based upon the classic painting by Thomas Moran, who is probably the artist most associated with the Grand Canyon. In addition to these four important views, there are twelve geologic maps of the region (eleven in color) and six other chromolithographs, a title page and table of contents.

Hardbound in half bonded leather over cloth boards. Housed in a pictorial paper clamshell case.
