The Face of the Moon

Galileo to Apollo

An Exhibition of Rare Books and Maps from the Collection of the Linda Hall Library

We have prepared an online version of an exhibition catalog that was originally published in 1989. The catalog was written by William B. Ashworth, Jr and it won the First Place Award in the annual competition sponsored by the Rare Books and Manuscripts Section of the Association of College and Research Libraries. Copies of the printed catalog are still available

For this online version, several minor errors have been corrected; otherwise, it follows the format of the printed version. However, the addition of the many hypertext links makes it possible to browse the catalog in an entirely new way. In addition, we are currently restoring the original color for those illustrations where it was appropriate. We hope you enjoy it.

The illustration above, which appears on the cover of the printed catalog, is from exhibit item 17
