Reflecting on the the scale of human history in the shadow of these enormous and enduring footprints French scientist Louis Figuier 1819-1894 reflects: "The historian and antiquary may traverse the battle-fields of the Greeks and Romans and search in vain for traces of those conquerors whose armies ravaged the world. Time which has overthrown the monuments of their victories has also effaced the marks of their footsteps.Those reptiles on the other hand which crawled thousands of ages ago on the surface of our planet when it was still in its infancy have impressed on the soil indelible proofs of their existence."

The nephew of Pierre-Oscar Figuier he served as Professor of Chemistry at Le Ecole de Pharmacie of Montpellier before moving on to become Doctor of Medicine as well as agrege of pharmacology chemistry and physics. He gained his PhD circa 1850. La Terre avant le deluge originally published in 1863 illustrated by Edouard Riou was one of Figuier's most successful works gaining critical acclaim from his contemporaries for his thoughts on geological history and the origin of modern man. Influenced by Charles Lyells Geological Evidences of the Antiquity of Man of 1863 the 1867 second edition and future printings abandoned the Garden of Eden shown in the first editions frontispiece for a more accurate depiction of savage men and women wearing animal skins and wielding stone axes. While the majority of copies produced by D. Appleton are bound in blue cloth and far more common the leather bound edition of the same date is extremely rare. This landmark book would make an exceptional addition to the library of any scholar or geology enthusiast. Please feel free to view our photographs of this beautiful piece. Ships daily. New York: D.
