"Carte photographique de la lune, planche XIII.A (Photographic Chart of the Moon, plate XIII.A)" is a photogravure print by Charles Le Morvan, likely created between 1902 and 1914. This detailed astronomical image captures a section of the lunar surface, showcasing craters and other formations. Le Morvan, a French astronomer, was known for his contributions to lunar mapping, and this plate, part of a larger series, demonstrates his meticulous photographic documentation of the moon.
