Plates Illustrating the Geology & Scenery of MassachusettsOrra White Hitchcock, 1835HITCHCOCK, Orra White (1796-1863). Plates Illustrating the Geology & Scenery of Massachusetts. [Amherst: J. Adams, 1835.] Second edition of the atlas of Edward Hitchcock's report on the geology of Massachusetts. Hitchcock was a geologist and the third president of Amherst College, with an additional strong interest in Natural Theology. Many of his works, as here, were illustrated by his wife Orra White Hitchcock, one of America's earliest female scientific artists. Although she also produced significant independent work, her most famous piece is the hand-colored engraving present in this book: "Autumnal Scenery. View in Amherst." The text, not present here, was printed in octavo. Sabin 45751. Oblong folio (225 x 285mm). 13 lithographic plates, one of which in color; large folding colored map on tissue, 4 smaller folding maps; folding table (heavy spotting and browning, large map torn along folds, smaller maps also chipped with some losses). Contemporary muslin-backed limp boards with printed paper label (rather worn and stained). Custom clamshell box.
