Edmund Neison's The Moon and the Condition and Configurations of its Surface is a detailed study of lunar topography, first published in 1876. This work was a pioneering contribution to selenography, the study of the Moon's surface features. Neison, a respected astronomer, compiled maps and plates to illustrate the Moon's craters, mountains, and geological formations, providing one of the most comprehensive lunar atlases of its time. His research was influenced by earlier works, including those of Johann Heinrich von Madler, and helped advance scientific understanding of lunar geography. The book remains a valuable historical reference for astronomers and collectors interested in early lunar cartography. 18 pages, 576 pages, 5 drawings, 3 special maps, 22 other maps. Bound in the original publisher's plum coloured cloth, lettered & Greek key decorated upper board, gilt lettered & Greek key decorated spine, and Greek key decorated rear board. Minor rubbing at extremities, but a very sound and firm heavy volume. Contents are bright and clean throughout, with no loose or damaged pages. As nice an example of this work as you will likely encounter. Size: 16 x 22.5 cms. Category: Antiquarian & Rare; Special Interest.
