The call of the stars; a popular introduction to a knowledge of the starry skies with their romance and legend
A popular astronomy handbook by John R. Kippax, published by G. P. Putnam's Sons in New York and London in 1919 for general readers interested in constellations, planets, and star lore. The plates are coarse halftone reproductions of observatory photographs: pale nebulae and ring shapes glowing against black grounds, dense star fields, and speckled grain that supplies ready-made texture, high-contrast silhouettes, and circular light forms.
