Small tear on front wrapper otherwise a very nice, attractive copy. Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections Volume 75, Number 5. Publication 2965. Walcott was an American paleontologist/geologist and was the administrator of the Smithsonian Institution from 1907 to his death in 1927. He is most famous for his discovery in 1909 of well-preserved fossils in the Middle Cambrian of the Burgess Shale of British Columbia, near the town of Field. In 1914, Walcott married his third wife, Mary Morris Vaux, an amateur artist and avid naturalist who traveled with him on horseback for most of his expeditions in the Canadian Rockies. She was a gifted artist and made watercolor illustrations of wildflowers as she traveled with him. A selection of her work was published by the Smithsonian in 1925 in a spectacular edition of 5 volumes all done with a special colour printing process. We have in stock both the limited edition and trade edition of this publication. Charles was also a very gifted photographer and I believe most of the images published in the above title were taken by him. We have an original of his also for sale in the shop. Many of the images were taken with a panoramic camera and the results are spectacular. The images are so well done we prefer to think of this as a mountaineering title rather than a geology title. Still, both reasons are compelling to own this very scarce title.
