Printed Book 'Our Satellite', Part 1, by A. Le Vengeur-D'Orsan, Containing Photographs (Albumen Prints) of the Moon, London, 1862 (Incomplete Copy)

Incomplete copy of A. Le Vengeur-D'Orsan, Our Satellite. A Selenography According to the Present State of Science (London: A. W. Bennett, 1862). Printed card covers, red cloth spine. Flyleaf + title leaf + photograph mounted on paper, double general view of the moon labelled with names of regions + printed sheet of relative size and distance of moon and earth + 2 plates consisting of photographs of part of the lunar surface mounted on a printed moon, and 2 tissues. In addition to the 3 plates with mounted photographs (albumen prints) there are 5 smaller photographs cut from the main text (missing in this copy) and mounted on the verso of the title page. This copy therefore contains 8 albumen prints (of 9), but lacks all the text pages and preliminaries except the title page. For the complete work see 13015. All pages are separate and loose, though they appear to have been originally glued. A letter from Joseph White to H. H. Turner, sending him the book, is tipped inside the front cover.
