Observatories and What They Do - 1931 Astronomy Pages

Description: British Parliament 1925 Vintage Lithograph Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Observatories and Their Work - 1931 Astronomical Pages Some time ago, I acquired two damaged copies of Splendour of the Heavens - a Popular Authoritative Astronomy by Rev. T. E. R. Phillips & Dr. W. H. Steavenson, 1931 editions, considered to be one of the best early 1900's text on astronomy. I have been able to save some of the pages and illustrations. This is a collection of 30+ various pages showing historical photographs and illustrations of observatories. Only a few pages shown. Many full page and most pages have additional illustration on reverse. Great 1930s astronomical history. Sound, but some slight wear of pages (mostly edges), margin foxing, an occasional bent page tip. (Only a few pages shown) A fascinating look at astronomy from the viewpoint of almost a century ago. Size: Pages are approximately 8" X 10.5" Not all pages shown Condition: Excellent - Very Good - Good- Fair - Poor (but of historical interest) Typical age toning & handing wear BUT some page wear...text and illustrations are very good. << Click Here to See Other Historical Articles >> Important: P/H is combined on multiple items that can be mailed together.

Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
