EDITORS COMMENTS
The Solar System (colour litho) captures the awe-inspiring beauty and vastness of our celestial neighborhood. This stunning print, created by the German School in the 19th century, is a testament to human curiosity and scientific exploration. Taken from Meyers Konversations-Lexicon, an encyclopedia dating back to 1895, this educational artwork provides a visual representation of our solar system's intricate workings. The vibrant colors bring each planet to life, showcasing their unique characteristics and positions within their respective orbits. From closest to farthest from the sun, we can observe Mercury with its rocky terrain, followed by Venus shrouded in thick clouds. Earth stands out as a mesmerizing blue gem among its neighboring planets. Further along the orbit lies Mars with its rusty-red surface hinting at potential signs of life. Jupiter dominates the scene with its massive size and swirling storms while Saturn captivates us with its iconic rings. Beyond these gas giants lie Uranus and Neptune; mysterious ice giants that continue to fascinate astronomers today. This image serves as a reminder of humanity's quest for knowledge about our place in the universe. It sparks wonderment about what lies beyond our own planet and encourages us to explore further into space. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of astronomical history for all science enthusiasts to enjoy – an exquisite blend of artistry and scientific accuracy.
