Sobre este item
Washington, D.C.: Government Printing Office. Very Good. 1861. Hardcover. Twelve full-page engravings, one profile, seven color plates, and 41 woodcuts. Includes "Map No. 1 Rio Colorado of the West" and "Map No. 2 Rio Colorado of the West" published in 1858. Missing the two scarce shaded geologic maps, as is common. Rebacked using original spine and boards. Some surface staining to boards, gilt rubbed. Edges rubbed, corners bumped. This first book to deal with the Colorado River predates Powell's exploration by 10 years. The Ives report is also one of the first descriptions of the Grand Canyon and of the area's native inhabitants. Many of the sketches have exaggerated views of dark and narrow canyons, reflecting how strange the landscape must have looked to these early explorers. Farquhar 21, Howes I-94, Wagner-Camp 375. ; Book; 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall .
