Samuel Hibbert: History of the Extinct Volcanos of the Basin of Neuwied, On the Lower Rhine

 

The sketch is by Charlotte Hibbert and decorates the title page of the Hibbert Volcanos book- it was much admired by Charles Lyell. Charlotte also drew the map which forms the frontispiece of the book. 'Loess Ground' offers the opinion that this might be the first time that loess appeared on a geological map; the book was published in 1832 by W & D Laing in Edinburgh

 

 

 

Samuel Hibbert- this could be the only picture of SH; it would be good to have a few more; keep an eye open for SH pictures.
