Created by Paul Henry and Prosper Henry, two French astronomers with an insatiable curiosity for the celestial world, this image showcases their groundbreaking work in lunar photography. The photograph captures the rugged texture of the lunar surface, revealing countless craters scattered across its desolate landscape. The intricate details are brought to life through the albumen silver print technique employed by the Henry brothers.
