First English edition. Map appears on on two folded sheets, illustrating first and last quarters.

Map accompanied by a sheet showing two photographs of the "invisible part" of the moon, as well as a 37-page booklet of descriptive text, which includes illustrations and tables throughout, two detailed lunar maps on pages 34-35, and an index of place names associated with the map key. “A map of the two visible quarters of the Moon is presented that attempts to picture the Moon’s surface as it appears to an observer in a telescope. The drawings are based on two photographs taken at the Lick Observatory in California. The positions of the details mapped are determined by the then libration of the Moon. For drawing lunar formations, a considerable number of photographs from other countries were used as well as some form the Popular Observatory in Prague. The map is accompanied by a descriptive text and a key to the various surface features. - V.S.N.” Neuschel, Virginia S. (March, 1964). Klepešta, Josef, and Lukeš, Ladislav.
