EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and detailed "Plan of Stjerneborg" engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration for J L E Dreyer's book on Tycho Brahe. The plan depicts the magnificent Stjerneborg observatory, where the renowned Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe conducted his groundbreaking research during the 16th century. The observatory stands tall with its scientist and assistant at the entrance, ready to delve into the mysteries of space. As we explore further, we discover various rooms within Stjerneborg - from bedrooms to subterranean passages and studies filled with sextants and fireplaces. The astronomer's piers stand proudly alongside a bed adorned with celestial charts, creating a unique juxtaposition between science and slumber. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element has been meticulously captured - from azimuthal globular crypts to portable stone tables adorned with astronomical instruments such as quadrants and armillae. This engraving truly encapsulates both the grandeur of astronomy in that era and Tycho Brahe's dedication to advancing scientific knowledge. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how scientific methods were employed centuries ago. It serves as a reminder of humanity's continuous quest for understanding our place in space while also showcasing exquisite examples of furniture design prevalent during that period.
