EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Plate XII of "The Constellations" from Alexander Jamieson's renowned Celestial Atlas, published in London in 1822. The hand-coloured engraving beautifully captures the celestial wonders of Pegasus and Equuleus, two constellations that have fascinated astronomers for centuries. In this historical piece, Jamieson skillfully combines artistry and scientific accuracy to create an exquisite illustration. The vibrant colours bring these zodiacal figures to life, making them leap off the page with their mythical allure. Pegasus, known as the winged horse in Greek mythology, dominates the center of the chart with its majestic presence. Its wings spread wide against a backdrop of twinkling stars, symbolizing freedom and grace. Adjacent to Pegasus lies Equuleus or "the little horse" a smaller constellation that complements its larger counterpart perfectly. Together they form a harmonious composition within this astronomical map. This print is not only visually stunning but also holds immense historical significance as it represents early 19th-century astrological knowledge and exploration. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with the cosmos and our constant quest for understanding. Whether you are an astronomy enthusiast or simply appreciate fine artistry, this hand-coloured engraving offers a glimpse into both science and culture from another era. Displaying it proudly will undoubtedly spark conversations about ancient myths, astrology's influence on human history, and our eternal connection to the vast universe above us
