Description

Six boards, with ribbons for hanging, on which have been mounted and varnished the six printed plates of A. J. Angstrom's published work Spectre Normal du Soleil (Uppsala, 1868). The title page is mounted on the back of the first board (plate B), and also gives a list of contents corresponding to the six plates present; for the work in its original form see 11863.
