Title: Atlas to Accompany the Monograph of the Tertiary History of the Grand Cañon District Author: Dutton, Clarence E. Place: Washington Publisher: Date: 1882 Description: Title-page, contents list, & 22 double-page plates, including color lithographed maps, lithographs of the canyon by W.H. Holmes, a striking chromolithograph by Thomas Moran etc. 20x17¼, original gilt-lettered cloth. A magnificent collection of maps and views that has elicited superlatives from every critic, and is certainly worthy of Francis Farquhar's description of it as "one of the greatest if not the greatest of all Grand Canyon books." Lot Amendments Condition: Some wear to cloth; two views (Plates 17 & 18) with pencil markings in an attempt to obscure damage caused by the two halves of the sheet adhering to one another in spots, Plate 18 has a small repair to the rear of the left half of the sheet and a dampstain to both halves of the sheet (staining not visible on face of plate); a few short marginal tears, one plate with tape repair on verso; overall very good.
