The Great Moon Hoax, Spying on Lunar Creatures,1830s

Illustration relating to the Great Moon Hoax with people spying on human-bat creatures on the Moon as other people are transported between Earth and the Moon by way of a balloon basket. The Great Moon Hoax refers to a series of articles that were published in 1835 by The Sun, a New York newspaper, about the discovery of life on the Moon, falsely attributed to English astronomer John Herschel. The articles described fantastic animals, including unicorns, bipedal tail-less beavers and bat-like winged humanoids (Vespertilio-homo) who built temples. There were trees, oceans and beaches. Authorship of the articles have been attributed to Richard Adams Locke. Illustrated by F. Wenzel, 1830s.
