Fine. ~ Jean de Charpentier or Johann von Charpentier 8 December 1786 – 12 December 1855 was a German-Swiss geologist who studied Swiss glaciers. In 1818 a catastrophic event changed his life focus when an ice-dammed lake in the Val de Bagnes above Martigny broke through its barrier causing many deaths. Afterwards he made extensive field studies in the Alps. Using evidence of erratic boulders and moraines and drawing on the works of Goethe he hypothesized that Swiss glaciers had once been much more extensive. These boulders characteristic of glaciers were strewn as if they were brought there by glaciers that no longer existed. Even so he wasn't sure how glaciers first formed moved or how they disappeared. His ideas were later taken up and developed by Louis Agassiz. – “Charpentier. Essai Sur le Glaciers…” 1841 a classic of scrupulous care in weighing evidence describing the erratic blocks and explaining the function of glaciers in transporting them. Save for a bit of light foxing to a few pages the text pages are typically fresh clean and bright as are the engraved plates and colored map. The map "Carte du terrain erratique de la Vallée du Rhône" unfolds to 18 by 15 inches and is like new. The folding plate of the Rhône Glacier is striking.
