Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. MORAN, Thomas (1837-1926) - DUTTON, Captain Clarence E. (1841-1912). Atlas to Accompany the Monograph on the Tertiary History of the Grand Canon District. Washington: Department of the Interior, 1882. Folio (20 x 17 4/8 inches). Lithographed title-page, 15 MAGNIFICENT double-page colour tinted lith…ographed views of the Grand Canyon, including one after Thomas Moran, based on a sketch by Holmes, and 9 after William H.Holmes plates, 11 double-page colour printed lithographed maps, and 2 uncoloured maps. Original publisher's brown cloth (shaken, worn and stained, spine strengthened with linen tape). Moran' famous painting"The Grand Cañon of the Yellowstone" (1872) was the first landscape the government hung in the Capitol, was purchased in June 1872, just three months after Congress voted to establish the Yellowstone area as the country's first national park. By 1873 Moran was in demand as an exploration artist. His work had been widely published, and The Grand Cañon of the Yellowstone had been favorably reviewed in newspapers and journals. Dutton's early field work centered on the Colorado Plateau. Out of it came a trilogy of related studies: Report on the Geology of the High Plateaus of Utah (1880), the Tertiary History of the Grand Cañon District (1882), and Mount Taylor and the Zuñi Plateau (1886). His description of this erosion-sculpted terrain enshrined Dutton, along with Powell and G. K. Gilbert, into the founding pantheon of geomorphology and the "American school" of geology. "Most spectacularly, along with Powell, Dutton virtually defined the meaning of the Grand Canyon for American civilization. According to his biographer, Wallace Stegner, "Dutton is almost as much the genius loci of the Grand Canyon as Muir is of Yosemite. And though it is Powell's monument to which the tourists walk after dinner to watch the sunset from the South Rim, it is with Dutton's eyes, as often as not, that they see" ([1953], pp. 173-74)." (Stephen J. Pyne for ANB).

No Binding. Zustand: Very Good. Broadsheet chromolithograph (Image: 26 1/4 X 35 1/4; 66.7 X 89.5 cm. Sheet: 31 1/4 x 39 1/2 in.; 79.4 x 100.3 cm) BINDING/CONDITION: Loosely laid down on sturdy card and enclosed in mylar. (65B2B) A FINE COPY OF THIS SPECTACULAR PRINT IN PRISTINE, UNCIRCULATED CONDITION. Published by the Atchison,… Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad in 1912, after the original oil commissioned for (and still owned) by the line. It shows a tremendous sweep of the scenery in the Grand Canyon from Hermit Rim, with the shimmering, incandescent colors of the Canyon dramatically contrasted with the dark, gnarled pinyon pines in the foreground and the turbulent sky in the background. Famous for his awe-inspiring landscapes of the West, Thomas Moran first painted the Grand Canyon in 1873 ("Chasm of Colorado") which he sold to Congress the following year. The Santa Fe spur line, completed in 1901, was the first track to bring tourists within easy reach of the South Rim, and the railroad purchased art of the Canyon to promote this geologic attraction. In 1892 Moran visited the Canyon as a guest of the Santa Fe Railroad and painted a large canvas for the line in return for a free trip. Between 1901 and 1912, the railroad consistently sponsored "artists' excursions" there and purchased paintings to serve as a basis for promotional efforts. In 1912 the railroad capped a twenty-year association with Moran by commissioning this painting and subsequently producing this chromolithograph. Although 2,500 copies were printed, the majority did not survive or were badly damaged, as they were given to clients as promotional gifts or hung unframed (or poorly framed without glass) in Santa Fe railway stations. However, the corporation safely stored a number of the prints in its archives until 1996, when it placed the remaining stock with the Zaplin-Lampert Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico (Kinsey, Thomas Moran's West: Chromolithography, High Art, and Popular Taste). The present copy of Moran's most striking printed image is from that group.
