39 Charles Blunt – The Moon’s Phases – Chromolithograph (c.1840)
This educational chromolithograph titled The Moon’s Phases was created by Charles Blunt and published around 1840 in London as part of a series of visual aids for teaching astronomy. The illustration shows the sequence of lunar phases arranged in a circular pattern around a central Earth, with each moon phase labeled by letter and accurately shaded to reflect the changes in illumination during the lunar cycle. The contrast against a deep black background highlights the visibility of each phase from Earth.
Charles Blunt was a prominent British educator and science communicator in the 19th century, well known for his didactic diagrams and popular astronomy publications. His clear and engaging illustrations made complex celestial phenomena more accessible to students and general readers during the Victorian period.
