Lewis M. Rutherfurd built an observatory in the garden of his house in lower Manhattan in 1856, and installed a refracting telescope achromatized for the photographic rays. He took this remarkable lunar image in March 1865, three days after first quarter, and sent copies to astronomers in the United States and abroad.
This example came from Princeton University. It is marked "Lewis M. Rutherfurd" and "N. Y. March 6, 1865." It measures 23⅞ inches high x 17½ inches wide.
