Condition: Publisher's pebbled cloth. 46 pp. of text; 129 full-page plates. Thick 4to. KOTTLER: 'Of great importance was the beginning Barnard made in photographing the Milky Way. It can fairly be said that, although photography had been used in astronomy to a limited and somewhat experimental extent, it was not until Barnard's wholesale use of it that the technique became a vital and spectacular part of regular astronomical observing. His initial labors in this area were not easy, because funds for >equipment were scarce, and he was the junior member under a somewhat crusty and autocratic director, E. S. Holden. Barnard was obliged to use a small telescopic camera, contrived from a 2 1/2-inch portrait lens with a focal length of thirty-one inches, initially strapped to the side of a 6 1/2-inch telescope for want of a suitable mounting and guiding arrangement. With so small a telescope, exposures were necessarily very long; moreover, photographic materials were still rather primitive and insensitive. Nevertheless, Barnard's Milky Way photographs revealed a wealth of both bright and dark nebulae, and star-clouds hitherto unknown. The long exposures (up to six hours) were made with extreme difficulty and required great patience, for the guiding telescopes were without illuminated reticles. He was obliged to use fine iron wires for cross hairs, and to throw the image of a bright star out of focus, maintaining equal intensity in all four quadrants separated by the wires' silhouette. Many of these remarkable photographs of the Milky Way and clusters, as well as of comets, were later assembled into Volume 11 of the Publications of the Lick Observatory [offered here]' (D.S.B I: 465). 46 pp. of text; 129 full-page plates.

Ghosts of the frontispiece portrait appear burned onto the preceding endpaper as well as the following tissue guard and title page. Behind several of the plates, the backing has frayed slightly, showing a few stray threads. Page edges are toned and thumbed. See photos. Additional images are available upon request."Edward Emerson Barnard was an amateur astronomer who turned his love of astronomy and comet hunting into a career as a professional astronomer and astrophotographer.His atlas was a historic work. The images were taken circa 1905 with the Bruce Telescope (Lick Observatory), a photographic instrument specially constructed for the task. It was a composite of three separate telescopes: a 10-inch aperture f/5 refractor, a 6.5-inch aperture f/5.4 refractor, and a 3-inch guidescope.Only about 700 copies of the Atlas are thought to exist. The amazing thing about it is that each plate is an actual photographic print made from the original negative. Barnard, a perfectionist, personally inspected each of the 35,000 prints. However, the work was not completed at the time of his death in 1923. It was finally finished by Edwin B. Frost, then director of the Yerkes Observatory, and by Barnard's niece Mary R. Calvert and published in 1927."-- Jerry Lodriguss on AstropixVolume One from this listing is part of the original series of 700 copies, making it a scarce collector's item.
