"The Sun Seen From Its Nearest Planets," from The Harmsworth Self-Educator, page 902. The caption reads:
Mercury. From a study of the surface of Mercury the evidence seems to show conditions and features are similar to those on the moon, only more pronounced -- very little atmosphere, dark, rugged surface, beds of extinct molten seas of lava, and great craters and mountains, the whole parched and cracked and composed of dark, rugged surface akin to basalt and lava. The stars would be visible in daylight, notwithstanding the enormous apparent size of the sun, owing to the rarefied atmosphere. Water may be present in parts of the planet.
Venus. Venus is generally regarded by astronomers as posessing a very dense and cloud-laden atmosphere, very high mountains (27 miles high), and, according to Flammarion, conditions otherwise approximating to those of our earth.
In this scene on the Earth the sun is shown on the same scale as in the pictues of Mercury and Venus.
