Hardcover. Laminated boards. Zustand: Near Fine. AUSTRALIANA Panoramas, whether painted or photographed, were the nineteenth-century equivalent of IMAX or Google maps. These wide-angled views of landscapes and cities fascinated viewers, who had never before seen such far-reaching perspectives on the world around them. Based on the National Library of Australia's extensive collections, Capturing Time: Panoramas of Old Australia looks back on our nation through the magic of panoramasâ"to the streets of Sydney when it was the convict capital, to the gold rushes of Melbourne and to Perth, struggling to establish a toehold on the continent's western frontier. Dating from 1810 to the 1920s, the paintings and photographs include historic views of all of Australia's capital cities, plus some country towns. Not only can readers imagine what it might have been like to stand on Sydney's Observatory Hill in 1820, for example, but also what it would have been like to stand there with a companion able to point out landmarks and tell the sorts of interesting stories that only locals know.180 p.

First edition. Two volumes. Oblong quarto (Part I: 275mm x 250mm. Part II: 275mm x 275mm). Publisher's original brown cloth with gilt titles to the spine, without dustwrapper as issued. Illustrated throughout in black and white. Part I with portrait frontispiece, halftone plate of the Bruce photographic telescope and 51 full-page silver photographic prints mounted on linen. Part II with 50 black and white charts and tables. An excellent better than very good copy, the binding square and firm, with light mild bumping to the spine tips, the cloth a little marked and lightly rubbed to the extremities. The contents, with a previous owner's name to the front endpaper of each volume, are intermittently spotted mainly to the first and last pages, with some offsetting of the portrait frontispiece onto the previous page and tissue guard. The facing page of plate 48 has a small tear to the bottom edge with associated creasing, which has also creased the lower border of plate 48 (not affecting the image). The prints have occasional silvering to the extremities, very light surface rubbing and offsetting in places, and are otherwise in near fine condition throughout. A pioneer of celestial photography and one of the greatest observational astronomers of his time, E. E. Barnard made several important contributions to the field, including the discovery of Jupiter's fifth moon, numerous comets and the star with the greatest known proper motion (named Barnard's Star in his honour). He became interested in astronomy as a child, buying a small telescope with which he discovered comets, nebulae and other celestial objects. As a teenager he worked in a photography gallery in Nashville, learning photographic skills he would later apply to the celestial field. In 1888, the Lick Observatory offered Barnard a position as astronomer, where he began photographing the Milky Way, followed by tenures as Professor of Practical Astronomy at the University of Chicago and astronomer at Yerkes Observatory. In 1897, the university was gifted funding from Miss Catherine W Bruce for the purchase of a telescope and observatory allowing him to continue his work, with the Carnegie Institution providing funding for the production of his seminal Atlas in 1907. Ever meticulous, he personally examined each one of the 35,700 photographic prints produced for the edition, rejecting those not up to his high standards. The images and descriptive text were completed before his death in 1923, the work seen through the press by the director of Yerkes Observatory, Edwin B. Frost, with Barnard's niece and personal assistant Mary Calvert completing the 'Catalogue of Dark Objects' and 'Tables of Objects', which she had worked on under his supervision. A beautiful copy of this scarce and important work, published in an edition of just seven hundred copies. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.
