1889 Our Earth & Its Story by Robert Brown Antique Natural History Book w/Maps

Our Earth And Its Story - A Popular Treatise On Physical Geography
Edited by Robert Brown
With Twelve Coloured Plates And Maps And Two Hundred And Seventy Eight Woodcuts
Published by Cassell & Company Limited: London, Melbourne etc 1889 1st Edition
Notes: All maps, plates and illustrations present. This is volume 3 of a 3 volume set - a complete book in its own right. Includes coloured plates of the Aurora Borealis.

" This impressive 1889 first edition of Our Earth and Its Story presents a richly illustrated and accessible exploration of physical geography under the editorship of Robert Brown. Issued by Cassell & Company in London and Melbourne, this is Volume III of the original three-volume series—yet designed as a complete, self-contained work. Across twelve coloured plates and maps, alongside 278 finely executed woodcuts, the book examines the natural forces and phenomena shaping the planet, including striking depictions of the Aurora Borealis. Its Victorian-era scholarship blends scientific clarity with narrative appeal, offering readers an engaging window into late-19th-century geographic understanding.

The volume's visual richness is one of its great strengths: from full-colour plates to detailed woodcut diagrams, it captures landscapes, climates, and geological structures in a way both instructive and aesthetically appealing. Brown's editorial hand ensures a coherent text that stands independently, making this volume valuable even without its companion books. A handsome and substantial work of illustrated science, it remains a fine addition for collectors of Victorian science, lovers of geography and exploration, and those drawn to early visual representations of natural phenomena."
