The earth and sky; a primer of astronomy for young readers
An 1898 elementary astronomy primer by Edward Singleton Holden, published in New York by D. Appleton & Company for schoolchildren. Plates reverse into white-on-black night fields: stippled sun and moon discs, lettered star diagrams with dotted radial lines, and halftone lunar close-ups showing cratered limbs, offering ready-made negative-space celestial motifs and diagram lettering.
