Sharing my favorite images from the early days of photography...
Title: Photographie Lunaire: Copernic-Képler-Aristarique
Date: 1896
Photographers: Maurice Loewy (1833-1907) and Pierre Henri Puiseaux (1855-1928)
Process: photogravue (heliogravure)
Note: This photo, which was taken with a camera attached to a telescope, features the craters Copernicus, Kepler and Aristarchus. It is one of the earliest images of the moon as seen through a telescope, and appears in "L'Atlas photographique de la Lune" (1910), a atlas of the moon comprising of 10,000 photographs.
