Image of Anonyme: Partial Eclipse of Moon, UK ca. 1911
Sold out

A beautiful image of a partial eclipse of the moon by an unknown photographer. The photograph is titled and dated in an unknown hand. Interesting is the specific date: 16/11/11 at 11.0 p.m. because there was no eclipse of the moon in 1911. Only a penumbral on November 6. In 1910 there was a total eclipse of the moon on November 16.

A beautiful scientific image with an intriguing lack of clarity about the dating.

Gelatine silver print with normal traces of age and use

Photograph ca. 7,4 x 7,5 cm
Original mount 11,4 x 8,9 cm
