Thanks very much for this link and now download. This is quite astounding, as most historical astrophotography texts just give the words and no images. King's "History of the Telescope" comes to mind. Several historical images I have heard of but never seen - especially the Orion Nebula ones. At least I now have so more reading material...
Gracious amigo!
