Attractive educational chart explaining solar and lunar eclipses and the theory of tides. Original colour.
James Reynolds (1817-1876) was an innovative English publisher based on The Strand, London. During his career he published books, atlases, maps and scientific educational charts on a wide range of topics - from physical geography and geology to astronomy, architecture, ethnography and even pre-historic history.
Of particular note are his educational charts, most of which were published between 1846 and 1851. They were inexpensive, accessible to a wide audience, published a large numbers and very beautiful. The charts all feature striking, colourful illustrations with explanatory notes.
Reynolds took a great deal of care in making sure his charts were accurate and attractive. He employed experts, such as geographer Ernest George Ravenstein (1834-1913) and geologist Professor John Morris (1810-1886), to advise on accuracy and comprehension, and he also worked closely with the talented engraver and artist John Emslie (1813-1875) to produce his eye-catching designs.[CELEST811]
