The Royal observatory, Greenwich. A glance at its history and work
E. Walter Maunder's 1900 account of the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, published in London by the Religious Tract Society for general readers interested in astronomy. Halftone photographs and engravings show refracting and transit telescopes inside domes, with cast-iron frames, counterweights, ladders and lattice trusses, and staff seated at eyepieces — useful for instrument silhouettes and dark interiors crossed by diagonal struts.
