Note:
Five photographs of the moon - in black and white - showing part of the globe, with corresponding data available in booklet. Each 41 x 51 cm (with some variation), on sheet 88 x 108 cm, folded to 44 x 54 cm (to fit inside box). When folded, quadrants turn like the pages of a book, displaying one photograph at a time (except for two photographs together in A3-d). Each photograph shows the same area - lunar mare Crisium (north) - from different observatories. (Photographs listed here in order of appearance on unfolded sheet.) (Statement of responsibility taken from Photograph A2-c.)

Pub Note:
The Photographic lunar atlas was published in 1960 by The University of Chicago Press. It is accompanied by a text booklet, which includes metrics: The main body of the Atlas has 184 [i.e. 188] sheets containing 212 photographs; the Introduction contains 11 sheets with 5 photographs, the Supplements 35 sheets with 63 photographs. The totals are therefore 230 [i.e. 234] sheets and 281 [i.e. 280] photographs. Of these, 94 are from Mount Wilson [Los Angeles, California]; 63, Lick [Mt. Hamilton, California]; 52, McDonald [Fort Davis, Texas]; 41, Yerkes [Williams Bay, Wisconsin]; and 31, Pic du Midi [Bagnères-de-Bigorre, France]. Housed within a box enclosure, these photographs appear in alphabetized sets separated by tabs, beginning with the Introduction, which includes Photographs and Charts 1-11, and followed by: A2-A7 (each numbered set includes parts a-d), B1-B8 (a-d), C1 (a-f), C2-C7 (a-f), C8 (a-f), D1 (a-f), D2-D7 (a-d), D8 (a-f), E1-E8 (a-d), F2-F7 (a-d), and S1-S35. (Lacks sets A1 and F1.) According to the Introduction of the Photographic lunar atlas: "The purpose of this Atlas is to present the surface record of the moon as shown on the best photographs now available." Two supplemental volumes were published subsequently: the Orthographic atlas of the moon : Supplement one in 1961 by the University of Arizona Press (see Pub List No. 14058.000), and the Rectified lunar atlas : Supplement two in 1963, by the Aeronautical Chart and Information Center, United States Air Force (see Pub List No. 14059.000). In the Orthographic atlas of the moon, "the most representative photographs of each of the 44 fields or provinces into which the visible lunar surface was divided in the Photographic lunar atlas are reproduced, supplied with the standard orthographic grid ... " (Introduction). The Rectified lunar atlas contains "a series of high-quality photographs of the lunar surface as it would appear if viewed from above" (Introduction). Note on terminology: photographs and charts are differentiated here as follows - photographs are the original representations of the moon, in black and white, and without the overlay of interpretive graphics and text; charts are those same base images, in blue and white, mediated by overlaid interpretive graphics and text. One could even consider the photographs as art and the charts as maps.
