Description from the seller
FLAMMARION, CAMILLE. — GREEN PERCALINE HETZEL'S HISTORY OF THE SKY (1872).
Paris : J. Hetzel , 1872.
Grand in-8°. Percaline verte d'éditeur, décors de plats et dos dorés et noirs, tranches dorées.
Magnificent edition of astronomical science popularization signed by the famous astronomer Camille Flammarion, published by Hetzel in sumptuous period binding in green percaline.
The work traces the evolution of beliefs, myths and scientific discoveries related to the observation of the celestial vault, from the astrologers of Chaldea to the advances of modern astronomy.
Beautiful copy for preservation. Deep-green percaline, preserving a fine original luster. The gilding of the celestial chart is bright and duller on the spine. Scattered discolorations. Wear at the headcaps and corners. Interior very clean on period wove paper, enhanced by the superb engravings by Benett.
Camille Flammarion was the intimate friend of Pierre-Jules Hetzel. Together, they shared the same ambition: to make science accessible to all through magnificently illustrated works.
Good copy.
