Maan in het eerste kwartier before 1886

"Maan in het eerste kwartier" is a photographic print, likely from an astronomy book, produced before 1886 by Lewis M. Rutherford. The image showcases the moon in its first quarter phase, capturing the intricate details of its surface, including craters and other features. This image would have been valuable for scientific and educational purposes, providing a clear visual representation of the moon's appearance at a specific point in its cycle. The relatively small size of the print (161mm x 97mm) suggests its intended use as an illustration within a larger publication.
