Skip to product information
Physical Geography by William Morris Davis, assisted by William Henry Snyder, is an illustrated nineteenth-century study of the natural landscape. For readers and collectors interested in geography, geology, and early science education, it offers a historical perspective that deepens appreciation of mountains, valleys, and the forces that shape them.
Published by Ginn & Company, Boston and London, in 1899, with copyright dated 1898. This early printing retains its original dark blue cloth hardcover binding, gilt lettering on the front cover and spine, and a distinctive embossed landscape design.
Illustrations shown include the striking frontispiece, “The Canyon of the Colorado,” views of North Carolina mountains, and illustrations accompanying discussions of mountain landscapes and glacial landforms. An appealing original volume for an antique science collection or a library devoted to the natural world.
Condition: Good. Original cloth shows rubbing and scattered surface marks, with wear and minor fraying at the spine ends and corners. Gilt lettering remains clear and attractive. Page edges are age-darkened; photographed pages show toning and occasional spotting, with readable text and well-defined illustrations. Front endpaper bears two previous-owner stamps and a small pencil notation. Some wear is visible along the inner front hinge. Please review the photographs for the binding, illustrations, and condition details.
