Large oblong 4to (315 x 415 mm); original brown leather, with lettering in gilt to spine and upper cover; central metallic medallion onlay to upper cover; marbled endpapers; pp. 224; lavishly illustrated in monochrome and full colour. Cover very slightly rubbed; merest trace of spotting to edges. Very good condition. A visually stunning book, which the publishers say is Colorado's all-time bestselling regional title. "The historic images of early west photographer William Henry Jackson capture a Colorado landscape both pristine and already dramatically affected by the onslaught of western civilization. Standing exactly where Jackson stood, and pointing his own camera in precisely the same direction, John Fielder has rephotographed Jackson's Colorado images to capture the often startling change that has occurred over the last century. The result is both breathtaking and stark, hopeful and disquieting. Jackson's and Fielder's photography is accompanied by thoughtful and provocative essays by respected experts in the environmental field: Roderick Nash, America's foremost wilderness historian and author of Wilderness and the American Mind ; Ed Marston, journalist and publisher of High Country News ; and Eric Paddock, Curator of Photography at the Colorado Historical Society. John Fielder describes the profound experience of traveling the state and seeing the landscape from Jackson's perspective, and reflects upon changes of the last 130 years." - From the publisher's website.
