The Moon's Phases in Lecture on Astronomy: Beauty of the Heavens; a Pictorial Display of the Astronomical Phenomena of the Universe
Charles F. Blunt British
Publisher Tilt and Bogue British
Not on view
Blunt marketed his book of popular astronomy to families and envisioned them reading it aloud together in their parlors. His astronomical drawings, such as this diagram of the moon’s phases, are as elegant as they are legible. The brief descriptive "lectures" that accompany each illustration are likewise simplified and free from scientific jargon.
