Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the remarkable story of a 19th-century American family who revolutionized astronomical observation. It chronicles the lives and work of Alvan Clark and his sons, George Bassett and Alvan Graham, who together formed the renowned firm Alvan Clark & Sons. The narrat…ive unfolds against the backdrop of a burgeoning public fascination with astronomy, fueled by scientific advancements and the desire to explore the cosmos. The Clarks rose to prominence by crafting exquisite lenses for some of the world's most powerful telescopes, including the still-unmatched 40-inch lens at Yerkes Observatory. Beyond their technical mastery, the book explores the Clarks' dedication to scientific inquiry and their contributions to practical astronomy. It details their meticulous methods, their pursuit of perfection, and their own astronomical observations, including the discovery of double stars and participation in solar eclipse expeditions. Ultimately, this book illuminates the legacy of the Clark family, not only as skilled artisans but as pioneers who helped shape the course of astronomical discovery and pushed the boundaries of our understanding of the universe. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. 2nd Edition. Hardcover, second edition, v + 298 pages, copiously illustrated with b&w images, NOT ex-library. Minor handling wear. Book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. -- The book traces the fascinating history…of the Clark family, renowned for their work in optical design and manufacturing in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The authors provide an insightful account of how the Clarks revolutionised telescope making, producing some of the most important astronomical lenses of their time. The book highlights the family's craftsmanship, scientific expertise, and artistic dedication to optics, which earned them international recognition. Through meticulous research, the authors recount the Clark family's contributions to astronomy, detailing their partnerships with leading observatories and the construction of large refracting telescopes. The text also explores the technical and artistic aspects of the Clarks' work, offering a unique perspective on how they balanced scientific precision with aesthetic beauty. This book is an invaluable resource for historians of science, astronomy enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the intersection of art and technology. -- "Alvan Clark & Sons was an American maker of optics that became famous for crafting lenses for some of the largest refracting telescopes of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Founded in 1846 in Cambridgeport, Massachusetts by Alvan Clark (1804-1887, a descendant of Cape Cod whalers who started as a portrait painter), and his sons George Bassett Clark (1827-1891) and Alvan Graham Clark (1832-1897). Five times, the firm built the largest refracting telescopes, Great refractors, in the world. The Clark firm gained "worldwide fame and distribution", wrote one author on astronomy in 1899. The 18.5-inch (470 mm) Dearborn telescope (housed successively at the University of Chicago, Northwestern University and Adler Planetarium) was commissioned in 1856 by the University of Mississippi. The outbreak of civil war prevented them from ever taking ownership. As a result it was being tested in Cambridgeport when Alvan Graham observed Sirius B in 1862. In 1873 they built the 26-inch (660 mm) objective lens for the refractor at the United States Naval Observatory. In 1883, they build the 30-inch (760 mm) telescope for the Pulkovo Observatory in Russia, the 36-inch (910 mm) objective for the refractor at Lick Observatory was made in 1887, and the 40-inch (1,000 mm) lens for the Yerkes Observatory refractor, in 1897, only ever exceeded in size by the lens made for Great Paris Exhibition Telescope of 1900. The company also built a number of smaller instruments, which are still highly prized among collectors and amateur astronomers. The company's assets were acquired by the Sprague-Hathaway Manufacturing Company in 1933, but continued to operate under the Clark name. In 1936, Sprague-Hathaway moved the Clark shop to a new location in West Somerville, Massachusetts, where manufacturing continued in association with the Perkin-Elmer Corporation, another maker of precision instruments. Most of Clark's equipment was disposed of as scrap during World War II.".
