Near Fine. 4to. 30.5 by 27 cm. xviii 2 368 pp. 28 hand-colored aquatint plates of which one is a half-title page another is a double paged and folding panorama plate of The Battle of Waterloo; plus two folding maps. The plate count given in the book's plate description is 30 and this includes the maps. Tooley 336. Abbey Life 372. Cohn Cruikshank 580. Missing as typical View of Brussels but with "Flight of Bonaparte". Rouse was responsible for almost all of the plates with Cruikshank the artist for the large folding plate depicting the Battle of Waterloo and the frontis plate which contains portraits of the leading generals. Rouse though had a hand in the printing of these as well. Condition: Rubbing along the joints on the cover with a touch of rawness in the very upper reach of the front hinge but overall a highly attractive three quarter red morocco binding with raised bands gilt lettering and ruled and dotted decoration on the spine. Scattered light soiling within and the typical quotient of offsetting but mostly clean. The Cruikshank Waterloo plate has smudgy margins but a good amount of this can be removed with a simple eraser if one wishes to make the effort -- we did test this. The large folding map has fold tears with one irregularly bordered tear. The whole map we would note is present. Henry Colburn unknown

The work includes illustrations by arguably the two greatest American topographical artists to record this era of westward expansion: William Holmes and Thomas Moran.<br/> <br/>The atlas includes eight beautifully executed maps of the region on twelve sheets as well as the ten sheets of views. The views include a number of images that are designed to form larger continuous panoramas. The greatest of these is Holmes' view from Point Sublime in the Kaibab; the three chromolithographed sheets numbered XVI-XVII if joined would form a single panoramic view with an image area measuring approximately 17 x 90 inches. It is interesting to note that the first of these sheets includes what may be a self-portrait and portrait respectively of Holmes and Dutton: two figures are visible at the edge of the canyon one is seated and clearly sketching Holmes whilst the second figure bends down to examine his companion's work Dutton. W.H. Holmes whom William Goetzmann calls "the greatest artist-topographer and man of many talents that the West ever produced.his artistic technique was like no other's. He could sketch panoramas of twisted mountain ranges sloping monoclines escarpments plateaus canyons fault blocks and grassy meadows that accurately depicted hundreds of miles of terrain. They were better than maps and better than photographs because he could get details of stratigraphy that light and shadow obscured from the camera.his illustrations for Dutton's Tertiary History of the Grand Canon District are masterpieces of realism and draftsmanship as well as feats of imaginative observation." The team assembled to carry out this geological survey of the Grand Canyon included some outstanding talents: C.E.Dutton the scientist; Jack Hilliers the photographer and of course Holmes and Moran as artist-topographers. The intention of the survey was strictly scientific but as Dutton writes in his preface "I have in many places departed from the severe ascetic style which has become conventional in scientific monographs." This is also true of Moran and Holmes: both were clearly inspired by their subjects. The overall result is of a quality that would not be possible today. As Wallace Stegner wrote in his introduction to the 1977 reprint "Later specialization has eliminated from scientific publications most of the elements that make The Tertiary History so charming. No report written as this one is written would now be published by any government bureau. No illustrators like Moran and Holmes would be permitted to illustrate it. A great book.
