The sun not what it appears to be a new cosmology, 1896
A cosmology treatise titled The Sun Not What It Appears to Be, written by Henry Raymond Rogers and published in 1896, drawn from the Smithsonian Libraries collection and aimed at readers interested in astronomy and atmospheric theory. The single picture is a sepia studio portrait of a bald, bearded man in a dark suit and bow tie, with his name and a handwritten signature inscribed on the mount below, so a designer might borrow its formal Victorian photographic framing and warm tonal palette for vintage portraiture.
