Elements of descriptive astronomy, a text-book
A secondary-school and college astronomy textbook written by Herbert A. Howe and issued by Silver, Burdett in New York in 1897, with numbered sections, verse epigraphs, and figures keyed to the text. The plates run to plain line diagrams and shaded engravings — moon-phase sequences, orbital circles labelled EARTH, planetary symbols set as headings, nebulae rendered in stipple — useful for astronomical shorthand, diagrammatic circles, and letterpress pages with figure captions.
