Description: This is a set of four photos of the same lunar area that were taken by the observatories at Mount Wilson, Pic du Midi, McDonald and Yerks. The sheet has a horizontal and vertical fold separating the photos as seen in the main pic. It is from the 1960 edition of Kuiper's Photographic Lunar Atlas, published by the University of Chicago Press, edited by Gerard P. Kuiper, which is fully stated in the bottom margin. It is not a digital reprint but an actual photo published in 1960. A copy of the title page is included, which also has a reference stamp to the Library of the Naval Research Laboratory from which it was discarded; thus, it has an interesting provenance. Also included is a facsimile of the key sheet identifying the craters. It is being sold as one single loose photo from the atlas, not mounted, matted nor framed.

Size: The large sheet measuring 34x42 inches (87x107cm)

Condition: It is in Very Good condition, blank on the reverse, printed on strong paper. There are a few minor surface dings due to usage, hardly worth mentioning, otherwise it is very clean, see the pics for more on condition. The pics are of the actual photo.
