I note the comet has a similar appearance in those 1892 plates, a big dustball with little gas emission, thoush some is noted in the negative image. A very unusual comet with a history of huge outbursts. The nucleous must be very unstable. Because the comet is a short period one and relatively acessable, NASA should give it priority for a space probe mission.
