EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring solar corona and prominences observed by English astronomer Warren de la Rue during the total solar eclipse on 18 July 1860. Taken at Rivabellosa in Spain, this remarkable image is a testament to De La Rue's dedication and passion for solar astronomy. The vibrant colors of this chromolithograph bring to life the natural phenomena occurring in our universe. The corona, with its ethereal glow, surrounds the darkened sun like a celestial halo, while prominences burst forth from its edges like fiery tendrils reaching towards the heavens. Dating back to the 19th century, this print is not only a visual masterpiece but also an important scientific document that captures a pivotal moment in astronomical history. It serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge about our place in the cosmos. Camille Flammarion, renowned for his contributions to astronomy and popular science literature, included this extraordinary image in his book "Le Ciel" published in Paris in 1870. Through their collaboration, Flammarion and De La Rue have immortalized this breathtaking event for generations to come. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork today, we are reminded of both the beauty and mystery that lie within our universe.
