Pub Note:
First edition lunar atlas with 6 copperplate engraved plates, of which 4 comprise sections of a moon map, by Lohrmann a professional cartographer and surveyor who undertook a lunar map based on his own micrometric measurements. Using a small Fraunhofer refractor, he determined the exact position of a number of control points on the moon, from which the positions of all other lunar features could be determined. He divided his map into twenty-four sections, and in 1824 he published the first four of these sections, along with an explanation of his methods. Although he worked for sixteen more years, and finished drawing all the sections, Lohrmann never did publish the remainder of the atlas. Fortunately, his great successor, Julius Schmidt, completed Lohrmann's atlas and published it in 1878. 'One of the most attractive features of Lohrmann's maps is the use of multiple levels of shading to indicate light and dark areas of the moon' (Ashworth). Includes hachures to indicate the length and steepness of the slopes of the various features and shadings to indicate the light and dark areas of the moo
