Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Antoniadi, E.M. "La Retour de la Planete Mars", in Bulletin de la Societe Astronomique de France et Revue Mensuelle.Paris, 1926. 552pp, with the Antoniadi paper on pp 345-352. Cloth-backed and tipped, with the original wrapper covers pasted on a lovely restoration. Fine condition. __+__ ANTONIADI, Eugene Michael (Eugenius Mihail) (1870-1944), superior planetary observer, especially of Mars, was founding member of the British Astronomical Association and long an assistant to Camille Flammarion, who contributed hundreds of papers and several books to the astronomical cannon. The present paper takes us further down the longish road to his disposal of the idea of the Martian "canals", which began a complicated life following Schiaparell's naming them ("canali" in 1877) , especially at the hands of Percival Lowell, who took the new observations from the very crude first map (by Maedler) in 1840 to his own observations confirming his belief in intelligent design and civilization of the planet. Antoniadi was a long-time supporter of the Lowell interpretation until his own observations of 1909, when he became convinced that the "canals" were at best optical illusions. ".the nature of the Lowellian network was an illusion, the result of eyes straining tosee myriads of unresolvable details, or giving illusory hard edges to intersections of half-tones of different intensity."-- R. McKim, "The life and times of E.M. Antoniadi, 1870-1944. Part II: The Meudon years Authors", Journal: Journal of the British Astronomical Association, vol.103, no.5, p.219-227 __+__ Earlier (in 1909) in the Compte Rendus Antoniadi had poetically dispatched the Lowellian canals so: "In this nomenclature, we have not understood the fugitive straight lines, often called channels, which are visible only during a fraction of second and which can be due to an illusion. These first observations do not confirm the existence of a network of geometric straight lines, crisscrossing in all directions. Even, by very calm images, we have recognized, not in a fleeting way but for several consecutive seconds, a structure of continental regions quite different from the previous one. These regions are shown covered with a large amount of greyish mottling, irregular, complex and gnarled, which no artist can render." __+__ The Antoniadi map published in this volume was made during the opposition of 1926 and utilized Antoniadi's most accurate observations of the planet to date. There is no hint of any hard angles. 714,3.

antoniadi la planete mars NUOVO. paris 1930 .

1st Edition. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL PAPER WRAPPERS OF ANTONIADI'S MOST IMPORTANT WORK ON MARS. "An impressive" and beautifully illustrated publication, La Planète Mars is the comprehensive denouement of Antoniadi's Martian work. [In it], he presents a series of comparative drawings of the planet, all executed in meticulous stipple style, which show the canals resolved into vague, variously shaded, but distinctly separate features. [The] heart of the book, [though] is Atoniadi's corrected, updated, and systematized scheme of Schiaparelli's nomenclature for the planet's topography. [Antoniadi's] background in classical nomenclature made him the perfect man for the task; in all the book included 560 [named features] complete with summaries of each feature's observational history. â??This [book], writes William Graves Hoyt "combined with later photographic work with large telescopes at prime locations tended to reduce the canal controversy, if not the question of Martian life, to the status of an historical curiosity'" (Sheehan, Mars: The Lure of the Red Planet, pp. 174-175). Eugène Michel Antoniadi (1870-1944), a Greek/French astronomer, was born in Istanbul but spent most of his adult life in France, after being invited by Camille Flammarion. Antoniadi then served as Flammarion's assistant at his personal observatory for nearly a decade. "In the 1890s, [Antoniadi] was one of many who accepted Giovanni Schiaparelli's discovery (and Percival Lowell's further attestations) that the surface of Mars is interlaced with canali (Schiaparelli) or canals (Lowell, and not quite the same thing as canali, which means â??channels'). "But in the early 1900s, Antoniadi began to do a turnabout, becoming convinced that Martian canals were an illusion, a psychological artifact of human perception" (Linda Hall Museum, Scientist of the Day - Eugène Michel Antoniadi, March 1, 2017). "During the planetary opposition in 1909, Antoniadi observed Mars at the celebrated 33-inch Meudon Observatory telescope, the largest in Europe. Although he observed for only nine nights during a month-long stay in Paris, he reported seeing Mars so clearly at times that the linear appearance of the canals dissolved into an intricate mess of smaller, irregular details, and he noted that 'the geometrical "canal" network is an optical illusion; and in its place the great refractor shows myriads of marbled and chequered objective fields, which no artist could ever think of drawing'" (Mapping the Mars Canal Mania: Cartographic Projection and the Creation of a Popular Icon", Imago Mundi, 58:2, 2006). What Antoniadi witnessed at Meudon "was enough to take him on the offensive against the reality of Martian canals" (Linda Hall Museum). Antoniadi would eventually publish a book, La planète Mars [the work offered here] with numerous text images and 10 plates of Mars, one showing four more views from 1909, and another a world-map of Mars. [There are no] canals anywhere in these views and maps. Nevertheless, it took another 40 years, and the Mariner voyages to Mars of the late 1960s, before Martian canals finally faded from maps, and from the human imagination (ibid).
