Astronomy; the science of the heavenly bodies
A popular survey of astronomy by David Peck Todd, published in New York by P.F. Collier & Son in 1922 for general readers. Plates are halftones from observatory photographs — a meteor trail across the Dumb-bell Nebula, the Ring Nebula, the solar corona at the 1918 eclipse, and lunar craters in raking light — offering white forms on dense black grounds and cratered gray texture.
