In 1874, James Nasmyth and James Carpenter wrote the book The Moon: Considered as a Planet, a World, and a Satellite. Plaster models illustrated the texts about lunar physiography. At that time, it was not yet possible to make photographic images using telescopes.
One hundred and fifty years later, I photograph with my self-built wooden camera exactly the same crater on the moon, the Plato crater. Do I see what he saw?
