How planets and moons were made

Lewis, Paul G. [from old catalog] · 1915 · [Sacramento, Cal., Schmitt-Bachman co. print] · 7 pictures

Lewis's 1915 cosmogony treatise, printed in Sacramento, California, for general readers interested in how planets and moons formed. The diagrams are plain line drawings of concentric rings, wave-like curves, a shaded body with a bulging crest, and a small orbiting sphere passing a larger one, giving designers clean schematic motifs of orbits, ripples and tidal forms in a restrained early-twentieth-century technical style.
