(Space Mars) Mars
An unparalleled overview for the red planet. While there had been fly-bys from both Soviet and US vehicle since the 1960's it was the success of the Mars landers in the 1970's that began to fine tune our geography and perspectives. This large overview in three views and two polar views is articulate and includes the major placenames. But it's the back side that is looks at the history of mapping mars from 1638 to Flammarion's map of 1892, and on to the modern era of Viking spacecraft.
Condition is very good. Size is approximately 33 x 38.5 (inches)
