EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lunar Photograph, South Pole, 1890" takes us back to a time when the mysteries of the moon were yet to be fully explored. 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. Their expertise in astronomy and photography seamlessly merge in this remarkable piece. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are transported to a time when scientific exploration was at its peak. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this precious artifact from the 19th century, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significant contribution to our understanding of our solar system. Paul Pierre Henry and Prosper Mathieu Henry's legacy lives on through their pioneering work in both science and art.

It reminds us that even today, centuries later, there is still so much left for humanity to discover beyond our own planet's boundaries.
