19th Alexander Jamieson Astrological Astrology Astronomical Chart Constellation Hand Coloured Engraving Star Chart Zodiac Zodiacal Historica Graphica Collection


EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored engraving, titled "The Constellations (Plate XXI) Capricorn and Aquarius" is a captivating piece from Alexander Jamieson's Celestial Atlas published in London in 1822. The intricate details of this astrological chart transport us back to the 19th century, where astronomy and astrology were deeply intertwined. In this print, we are presented with two distinct zodiac signs: Capricorn and Aquarius. Capricorn, also known as the sea goat, is depicted as a mythical creature with the upper body of a goat and the tail of a fish. Its presence symbolizes ambition, discipline, and resilience. Adjacent to Capricorn lies Aquarius - the water bearer. This constellation showcases an individual pouring water from an urn into a celestial river below. Representing innovation, intellectuality, and humanitarianism; Aquarius encourages us to embrace our unique qualities while fostering positive change in society. The vibrant colors used in this engraving bring life to these constellations against a dark backdrop filled with countless stars that make up the night sky. As we gaze upon this historical artwork today, it serves as both an educational tool for understanding ancient beliefs about celestial bodies and a visual delight for those who appreciate artistry combined with scientific exploration. This print from Heritage Images' Historical Graphica Collection offers us not only insight into early astronomical studies but also reminds us of humanity's enduring fascination with the mysteries of our universe.
