    From a focused study on the best of what was known of the heavens, this work by Smith gives illustrations for particular facets of earth, its neighbors and the workings of the solar system. Here an amazing early illustration for the surface of the moon as viewed from the telescopes of the time. Does show the structure of major craters as well as terrain.

    Condition is good with some minor marginal soiling. Image size is approximately 10 x 8.25(inches)
