The Grand Canyon Of Arizona
Published & Copyrighted 1910 by Kolb Brothers, Grand Canyon, Ariz. - The Albertype Co: Brooklyn NY
Uncommon 1910 1st Issue

"The Grand Canyon of Arizona (1910), published and copyrighted by the Kolb Brothers, is both a travel guide and a visual celebration of one of America's most awe-inspiring natural wonders. Written during the early years of the Grand Canyon's development as a tourist destination, the book combines descriptive passages with photographs and illustrations captured by Ellsworth and Emery Kolb, pioneering photographers who lived and worked at the South Rim. It presents the Canyon not only as a geological marvel but also as a place of grandeur and mystery, emphasizing its vast scale, unique rock formations, and ever-changing play of light and color.

The Kolb Brothers also use the book to highlight the growing accessibility of the Grand Canyon, which was becoming more widely visited thanks to the Santa Fe Railway and improved facilities. Their work blends natural history, travel narrative, and promotional writing, encouraging readers to see the Canyon as both a scientific wonder and an essential destination for adventure and inspiration. By preserving the early imagery and descriptions of the region, The Grand Canyon of Arizona played an important role in shaping public perception of the Canyon as a national treasure, reinforcing its significance as a place of natural beauty and cultural importance."
