Washington DC: Government Printing Office; Department of the Interior United States Geological Survey; Lithographed by Julius Bien & Co., New York, 1904. First edition. Hardcover. Monograph and atlas. 893pp. Very thick quarto [30 cm] The monograph has been rebound in 3/4 black leather with marbled paper over boards, and matching marbled endpapers. All plates are present, along with the fold-out table. The atlas is an elephant folio [56 cm] in brown cloth over boards, with very skillful restoration work to the backstrip and the lower extremities of the boards. Ex-library (Geological), with only a couple of stamps on the front endpaper (legitimately discarded from the institution). Else, the boards and contents very clean and sharp. A remarkably well-preserved copy. Complete, and in the best condition that we have seen. Will require extra postage due to size and weight. Arnold Hague's monograph and atlas are still viewed by geologists today as some of the most in-depth studies of Yellowstone to have ever been performed.
