If your interest is mid-nineteenth century systems of presenting
topography and relief, I would also recommend:
Manual of Topography and Textbook of Topographical Drawing: Methodically
Arranged and Engraved for the use of Officers of the Army and Navy,
Civil Engineers, Academies, Colleges, and Schools of Science,
by: J. Enthoffer, U.S. Coast Survey (formerly of the Imperial Austrian
Military Geographical Institute and of the Imperial Russian
Topographical Depot) (1870)
The text of the work is available as a Google book:
http://books.google.com/books?id=A3IOAAAAYAAJ&dq=enthoffer+engraving&source=gbs_navlinks_s
although, similar to most Google book projects, for some reason the
fantastic accompanying engraved plates, including color engraved plates,
are missing, which is too bad.
