Science and Fiction: James Nasmyth's Photographic Images of the Moon

Nasmyth undoubtedly appealed to this criterion in order to establish the authority of his image. [...]in the first part of this essay I will analyze the elements of realist vision on which he relied. [...]observing the moon landscape foregrounded the problems of realist vision. The range of media used throughout the process can also be seen as fairly typical of this period of print publication (Jussim 285; Gernsheim 7). [...]as Carol Armstrong has suggested, the mixing of different registers of information "allows the brute authenticity effect of the photograph to spread" (43). [...]success, Nasmyth's images were used to prepare lantern slides for popular lecture series as far away as America,9 and they inspired painters to produce sumptuous lunar landscapes (Nature urged its readers in 1878 to visit such a show in Old Bond Street ["A Lunar Landscape"]).
