An 1904 New York edition of Robert Stawell Ball's atlas of eighty-three astronomical plates with explanatory text and index, sold to amateur observers and students of the sky. The two pages here are lunar key maps: fine pen outlines of craters and maria labelled with letters and reference numbers, printed on cream stock beside dense columns of named features, useful as line-drawn topography, numbered keying systems, and small-caps index typography.
