Cape Landscapes: Sir John Herschel's Sketches 1834-1838

Buch

Sir John Herschel, one of the most noted astronomers of his time, arrived at the Cape in 1834 to spend four years observing the southern sky. During this time he produced over 100 exquisite landscape sketches. They are reproduced in this book, together with a narrative text which provides background to Herschel's life and work and sets the illustrations in their historical and geographical context.
