Edward Holden created astronomical illustrations in his own scrapbook, even though he ultimately held that photographic images are much more objective and factual than illustrations. The archives also contain several illustrations created by other astronomers at the Lick Observatory; displayed here are illustrations and sketches by James Keeler, J.M. Schaeberle, and Samuel Langley, as well as images that were collected in the archives from astronomers at other observatories. For more on how astronomers used other visual methods to record their observations, see Connections: Materials of Observation.
