Geology Journal — Vuillemin & Emslie c.1850

Carry two landmark works of Victorian geological illustration on a single journal — when Vuillemin published his French chromolithographic cross-section of the Earth's crust in Paris in the mid-19th century, showing volcanic intrusions, sedimentary strata, and geological formations from the surface to the deep interior, and Emslie engraved his British stratigraphic column (c.1850) for James Reynolds of London — a vertical timeline of geological epochs from Primitive granite at the base to Alluvium at the surface, color-coded by formation and annotated with characteristic fossil species — together forming a complete portrait of Victorian deep time at the moment when geology was transforming humanity's understanding of the age of the Earth.
