The young astronomer; or, Helps to a knowledge of the leading constellations..
An introductory astronomy primer for young readers by James Henry Carlisle, issued in 1891 by the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in Nashville. Wood-engraved plates mix sky subjects—the earth seen from the moon, star fields—with arch-framed vignettes of a sunflower garden gate and a schooner in heavy sea, offering dense line shading, black skies, and ready-made arched borders.
