GEOLOGY AND MINING INDUSTRY OF LEADVILLE, COLORADO, 1883, 1886

WITH ATLAS

By Samuel Franklin Emmons

GEOLOGY AND MINING INDUSTRY OF LEADVILLE, COLORADO (1883), with ATLAS (1886). By Samuel Franklin Emmons. United States Geological Survey, Monograph XII; Washington: Government Printing Office, 1883 (atlas) and 1886 (monograph).

The 770-page monograph is in original leather binding with gold print on spine. The overall condition of monograph is very good plus; binding is strong with little wear; one hinge internally reinforced; marbled endpapers; all plates, figures, and illustrations are present.

The 35-page atlas was printed in 1883. This copy is the flat-sheet, non-folding edition. It is lacking the original printed gray wrappers.

All atlas sheets are bright and clean; several have minor flaws (a chipped corner or a tiny closed-end tear); one double-width sheet has been professionally conserved on back and tear barely noticeable on front with no information missing.

All atlas are present. This set in original condition is getting more and more difficult to find, especially in such nice condition as this.

The S.F. Emmons Leadville monograph and atlas is only second to Dutton's work on the Grand Canyon in the USGS monograph and atlas series.

This monograph and atlas is a foundation stone in any Leadville research collection.

The atlas sheets exhibited here are exemplary of the very good plus to near fine condition of this highly detailed, excellently produced Leadville atlas.
