Other Binding. Condizione: New. 1st edition. Digital facsimile (in electronic PDF format on CD-ROM disc; not a printed book) of the 1868 first edition of this landmark of nature photography and conservation. California State Geologist Josiah Dwight Whitney created this lavish publication, issued in an edition of only 250 copies, as part of his campaign to preserve the area that later became Yosemite National Park. Photographer Carleton Watkins contributed albumen-print photographs, actual prints of which were mounted into each copy. The book also features two large- scale foldout maps by Charles Hoffmann and others. This Octavo Edition contains detailed digital images of every page of the original book, as well as optimized viewing images of the plates and maps and supplementary materials including an introductory essay, extra maps (some never before published), a provenance essay and detailed bibliographical information. Unsold original stock, minor storage wear. Not Signed.
