Item Overview

Description

This originally hand-colored engraving is from Alexander Jamieson's A Celestial Atlas Comprising a Systematic Display of the Heavens. The work was published in London by G. & W.B. Whittaker in 1822.

Jamieson's star atlas was inspired by Johann Elert Bode's Uranometria and Jean Fortin's celestial atlases. “The subtle hand-colored engravings… marked a transition from a celestial map style that included elaborate renderings of mythological figures to a less artistic and more scientific approach. The forms of the constellation zodiacs that had begun in ancient Greece were minimized or phased out over time in favor of more accurately detailed illustrations.” (Bibliodyssey)
