This edition seems hard to find--a much later reprint is available, but this one, with its large format and art-deco binding is scarce. Biographical Note: Lucien Rudaux (1874–1947) was a French artist and astronomer, who created famous paintings of space themes in the 1920s and 1930s. In 1892, he joined the Société Astronomique de France. In 1894, he founded an observatory in Donville. From 1903, he was a science writer and artist for Nature and, from 1905, for L'Illustration. In 1912 he was appointed an Officer of Public Instruction. He was a member of the Astronomical Society of France and the National Meteorological Office. In 1936, he was awarded a knighthood (Chevalier) in the Legion of Honor. He wrote numerous books and collaborated with astronomer Camille Flammarion. The Rudaux crater on Mars and the Lucien Rudaux Memorial Award are named in his honor. The asteroid 3574 Rudaux is also named for him.
