Chemla Lamèch: Carte Topographique de la Lune (1934) (new 2025)

Félix Chemla Lamèch (11 January 1894 - 14 May 1962) was a Greek-French astronomer.
He published this charming moon atlas in 1934 in which he introduced names for some Lunar craters.
When the International Astronomical Union published, in 1935, a new list with nomenclature for the Moon, it became clear that some of his proposals had made it, but others.

Check his wikipedia page - he had a remarkable life.
