Pub Note:
The Rectified lunar atlas : Supplement two, was published in 1963 by the Aeronautical Chart and Information Center, United States Air Force. It contains 142 sheets with 117 photographs and 31 charts. According to the Introduction, it is: a series of high-quality photographs of the lunar surface as it would appear if viewed from above. The Rectified lunar atlas is a supplement to the Photographic lunar atlas, published in 1960 by The University of Chicago Press (see Pub List No. 14057.000). It followed the Orthographic atlas of the moon : Supplement one, published in 1961 by The University of Arizona Press (see Pub List No. 14058.000). The purpose of the Photographic lunar atlas “is to present the surface record of the moon as shown on the best photographs now available” (Introduction). In the Orthographic atlas of the moon, "the most representative photographs of each of the 44 fields or provinces into which the visible lunar surface was divided in the Photographic lunar atlas are reproduced, supplied with the standard orthographic grid ... " (Introduction). Note on terminology: photographs and charts are differentiated here as follows - photographs are the original representations of the moon, in black and white, and without the overlay of interpretive graphics and text; charts are those same base images, in either brown or blue and white, mediated by overlaid interpretive graphics and text. One could even consider the photographs as art and the charts as maps.
