FIRST EDITION OF THE FIRST EXHAUSTIVE LUNAR ATLAS, Hevelius\’s four-year observations of the surface and phases of the moon, recorded in his greatest work, accompanied by an account of his instruments and telescopes. \”No finer book on the moon has ever been published. In scores of illustrations, drawn and engraved by the author himself, Hevelius tracked the moon through every phase of an entire lunar cycle, and then incorporated the information gained into three large moon maps… the two other maps, though less often reproduced, are much more splendid examples of lunar cartography. One shows the full moon as it actually appears through the telescope—that is, with no shadows. The other is uniformly (and artificially) shadowed to show the craters as they appear at mid-morning on the moon\” (Ashworth, The Face of the Moon Linda Hall Library p 45). Brunet III:150; BYU/Hevelius 1; Cinti 120; Houzeau Lancaster 1252.
