About this Item
Uccle, Juillet 1894. 1 leaf of text (with a smaller phototpyie of the full moon in the center) and 3 phototypies (plates I to III) by Jos Maes, Anvers. Imperial Folio (650 x 500 mm). Loose sheets in custom folder (folder soiled, spine torn). The sheets slightly browned and with some dust-soiling and creasing at outer margins, corners a bit rounded in places. Provenance: Sticker and small ink stamp of British Astronomical Association at corners of each leaf. Signature of W. Prinz on phototype leaves. ---- EXCEPTIONALLY RARE FIRST AND ONLY EDITION. Wilhelm Prinz (1857-1910) was a German-Belgian astronomer and noted for his selenography. Three plates of Enlargements of Lunar Photographs (Agrandissements de Photographies lunaires) published by W. Prinz, of the Belgian Royal Observatory at Uccle, are collotype reductions, without retouching, of some of the enlargements which were presented by the author to the Belgian Academy of Sciences in April, 1892. They represent photographs taken with the great refractor of Lick Observatory, enlarged from ten to a hundred times, and among other things they illustrate the richness in details of the views taken with that instrument. They are of special value as permitting a closer study of the details of lunar relief. A question of priority is connected with this publication, which was made partly to enforce Prinz's claims and partly as a specimen of a proposed atlas. The photographs represent the circle Copernicus, the crater Bullialdus, Mare Humorum, and Mare Imbrium. Sent gratis to astronomers and observatories. - Visit our website to see more images!.
