——————–
Guyot, Arnold [Henri] (1807-1884), who in 1855 began the
first systematic instruction in geology at Princeton, was born at Boudevilliers
near Neuchatel, Switzerland. He obtained his doctoral degree at Berlin with a
dissertation on “Natural Classification of Lakes.” Between 1839 and 1848 he
taught physical geography and history at the Academy of Neuchatel. In 1848 the
Academy was closed, and at the suggestion of his friend Louis Agassiz, he came
to the United States. He gave a series of lectures at the Lowell Institute in
Boston titled “The Earth and Man,” which became the basis for a highly
successful text of the same name. In 1854 he was appointed Professor of Geology
and Physical Geography at the College of New Jersey and the following year
began what is now the Department of Geological and Geophysical Sciences.
Guyot’s interests were in glaciology, physical geography, meteorology, and
cartography. His early studies on the flow of ice and the distribution of glacial
erratics in Switzerland served to underpin the theory of glaciation that had
been advanced and championed by his close associate Agassiz.
In 1866, he began his Geography series of maps.

The Nature of
Prints & Engravings
: It was not until the 20th century that
prints were commonly produced for the
print
itself. Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced
as
illustrations
to be included in a
manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of
original prints have been over the years removed from these original
sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques:
relief
printing
(woodcut & wood engraving),
intaglio
printing
(steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint,
etc), and
planographic printing
(lithography,
serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.).  While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age,
rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history
and/or its esthetic beauty.
