"Kraters op de maan" is a 19th-century astronomical illustration created by Loewy et Puiseux. This detailed drawing depicts the craters of the moon, highlighting the topography of the lunar surface with an intricate network of lines and circles. This scientific illustration, using an approach known as selenography, was produced before 1898, showcasing a critical step in the understanding of the moon's landscape. The image is valuable for its historical context and the meticulous detail in its depiction of the craters, particularly the regions of Arzachel, Alphonsus, and Ptolemaeus.
