Must look picture of the "Solar Eclipse in 1925"

[Nikolai De Silva]

Hi all!

This is a picture of the 1925 Solar Eclipse in the Encyclopaedia Brittanica published in 1929. This book was published just 4 years after it and this print is 94 years old for now!

Nikolai.

Hi Nikolai,

A great photograph, the detail shown is very good, and taken only 6 years after Einstein’s theory of Relativity was confirmed by the solar eclipse of May 1919. I would struggle to get anywhere near as good a photograph today with all my latest high-tec gear, that’s because the weakest part of the system is the idiot pressing the button.

That's a more atmospheric photograph than many of today's images. Thanks for posting it, it really is a great photo.
