This is a photograph of two images of the moon. The left and right images feature the full moon, displaying its detailed craters and surface features in shades of gray and white. The photographs are set against a deep red background with gold text. The text credits the lunar photographs to Warren De La Rue and notes that they were enlarged and published by Smith, Beck & Beck in London. The template suggests that these images were meant for stereoscopic viewing.
