From 1896 until Schiaparelli’s death in 1910, Percival Lowell and Giovanni Schiaparelli exchanged letters, telegrams, packages, and postcards apprising them of each other’s work and commenting on the other’s latest theories. Lowell, who greatly admired Schiaparelli’s astronomical career, wrote in search of approval for his oft-criticized theories about the perceived presence of canals and vegetation on Mars. Schiaparelli, who courted many theories about Mars but never truly invested himself entirely in one, gently guided Lowell to see other possibilities or recognize faults in his work, criticism that Lowell took with difficulty from others but accepted from Schiaparelli. The correspondence, translated from the original French here and made newly available to the public, shows a complex but respectful, warm, and gentlemanly relationship between two giants of Martian astronomy.
