The orbs around us : a series of familiar essays on the moon and planets, meteors and comets, the sun and coloured pairs of suns
A collection of popular astronomy essays by the English writer Richard A. Proctor, issued in London by Longmans, Green in 1902 for general readers interested in the moon, planets, meteors, comets and the sun. The plates are white-line wood engravings printed as light on solid black, showing auroral streamers, looped arcs and drapery rising from a jagged horizon, with lettered keys — useful as high-contrast negative textures, flame-like brush shapes and night-sky grounds.
