Second edition (first published 1900). 4 pp text, 34 pp plates from photographs. 9 x 11 in., oblong. Blue cloth with mounted illustration on front board. Light rubbing and soiling. Peabody (1855-1951) was a prolific commercial photographer. In 1898 he accepted a position with the Detroit Publishing Company, the largest postcard publisher in the United States. Famed landscape photographer and company founder William Henry Jackson selected Peabody for this position because of the high regard in which he held Peabody's outdoor work. Peabody served as field photographer on both the east and west coasts from 1900-1908, but his primary interest was the landscape of the American West. This album includes views from O'Neill Point, Bright Angel Trail, Grand View Trail, Bissel Point, and Moran Point. Most are landscapes, but there are also images of tourists and Havasupi Indians.
