Book Collection
The Pickwick Portfolio December 1888
This appears to be astronomy articles from a larger volume on various topics in science. The illustrations are the best part. I think that the author probably used a camera obscura to make the illustrations. There is one photographic print of the Moon that I think was probably pulled from Proctor's "The Moon". Pickwick clubs were popular in the United Kingdom during the 19th Century being fashioned after the Pickwick Club in Charles Dickon's "The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club".
