1893 Geographical Definitions Illustrated

This is one of the more ingenious charts to be included in the 1893 edition of Levi Walter Yaggy's Geographical Portfolio, published as an educational tool for high schools and colleges. The entire portfolio consisted of nine illustrated charts, and maps as well as two movable diagrams of presenting celestial phenomena, all housed in a wooden cloth-wrapped case. Yaggy's chart of geographical definitions illustrated seamlessly blends the wide variety of landforms, seascapes, elements of topography, geothermal activity, as well as human adaptations to the environment and transportation into one beautiful imaginary yet realistic world. Mountains, deserts, lakes, geysers, lava beds, craters, creeks, cliffs, sounds, prairies, table lands, sandstone formations, and so much more is presented in a manner that needs no words for students to understand. The human element is also represented by the inclusion of a railroad, wharf, city, harbor, farm, logging camp, and a variety of boats tastefully
