'From Jericho, Vermont, through the patience and skill of Mr. W.A. Bentley, many exquisite pictures of the snow crystal have gone to the ends of the earth in books and magazines, a nd as lantern slides for classes in art and design. And from far and wide has come back the urgent request that all these pictures - all at least of particular beauty or especial interest - be somehow preserved from an otherwise sooneer or later certain loss and made conveniently available alike to the scientist seeking truth, the artist searching for patterns of graceful form, and all to whom the beautiful in nature has a strong appeal.' From the preface written by W.J. Humphreys in 1931. This book reproduces all 2453 of Mr. W.A. Bentley's extraordinarily beautiful photographs of snow crystals and related forms that appeared in the 1931 edition by the McGraw-Hill Book Company.
