Proctor, Richard A. (Richard Anthony), 1837-1888 · 1887 · London, New York, Longmans, Green · 10 pictures

Richard A. Proctor's 1887 collection of popular astronomy essays, issued in London and New York by Longmans, Green for general readers interested in stars, nebulae and, incidentally, whist. The plates are white-on-black star fields reproduced from photographs and drawings — dense scatters of dots, a milky band crossing a circular frame, labelled points, the Coal Sack as a void.
