Observatoire de Paris, Mouchez, Ernest Amédée Barthélemy, 1821-1892, Lwy, M. (Maurice), 1833-1907 · 1887 · Paris : Gauthier-Villars · 10 pictures

A star catalogue issued by the Paris Observatory under Ernest Mouchez and Maurice Loewy, printed by Gauthier-Villars in Paris in 1887, listing meridian-instrument observations made between 1837 and 1881 for working astronomers. The plates are letterpress numerical tables on cream paper: ruled columns of Roman numerals, signed decimal values, arcs of leader dots, and small-caps station headings with hairline rules and ornamental breaks useful as data-page texture, grid structures, and typographic detail.
