Children's encyclopaedia from the 1950s, edited by Arthur Lee

Images of Men Who Mapped The Skies from the encyclopaedia, with Caroline Herschel centre.

A page from the encyclopaedia with a passage highlighted: "Caroline, on her part, learned to imitate the violin by humming with a gag between her teeth, so that she might perform at concerts and help the funds of the home. "
