Early large print of the moon. Unfortunately there is a small crease at the left upper corner. This photo is a historically important print.
Under the photo there is a small handwritten caption (see photo) mentioning Lerebours.
The Lerebours were a family of optical instrument makers working in Paris, France. Noël Jean Lerebours (1762-1840) originated the business in the 1780s and began making optical and scientific instruments of exceptional quality. His son Noël Marie Paymal Lerebours (1807-1873) took over the business in 1840; in 1845 the firm became Lerebours et Secretan.
