Luke's Eclipse Viewer Pages

August 31, 1932 eclipse

Sol-A-Clipse

Marketed by Geo. R. Lockwood of Tenafly, New Jersey

The booklet contains a rectangle of film to use as a viewer, along with a map on the back.

The 1932 eclipse was a major astronomical event in New England, and spawned more than a dozen different types of viewers as advertizers capitalized on the interest in it.
This booklet was a reprise of Lockwood's 1925 Sol-A-Clipse booklet, although the company had moved from Montclair to Tenafly, N.J. in the intervening seven years.
