A short history of astronomy
Arthur Berry's A Short History of Astronomy, published by John Murray in London in 1898, traces the subject from antiquity to the nineteenth century for students and general readers. The plates are line diagrams — concentric orbits, epicycles, lettered construction points, arrowed circles, a small comet — offering clean geometric figures, letter labels and eccentric-circle motifs for use as mono-line ornament or scientific reference.
