Saggi di astronomia popolare, 1913
An Italian popular astronomy volume of 1913 produced by the Società Urania with the Turin astronomical observatory, with Giovanni Boccardi among its contributors, written for a general lay readership. Its photographs document the Turin observatory's instruments and buildings, including a meridian instrument on a brick pier, a large refracting telescope in a domed room, and small observing huts, with one city map marking survey points. A designer might take the plain documentary framing, the cream-paged printed layout with italic captions, and the stark outdoor architecture of the huts.
