I have the illustrations from the Raisz books cleanly scanned in, but I can't post them due to copyright issues (I bought an extra sacrificial copy that was in relatively poor condition just to feed to the scanner). Pages 80-81 in "Principles of Cartography" are truly wonders of his style, in my opinion. The smooth transitions from landform type to landform type always hold me fascinated whenever I get near them.
