EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Constellation of Hercules (Heracles/Herakles) as part of the Milky Way, elegantly depicted on the right side of the image. The photograph originates from JJ Fortin's renowned Atlas Coelestis de Flamsteed, published in Paris in 1775. Crafted with intricate detail and precision, this copperplate engraving beautifully captures the essence of ancient Greek astronomy. The constellation chart serves as a stellar map, guiding us through the vastness of space and time. It transports us back to an era when celestial bodies held great significance in human culture and mythology. In Greek mythology, Hercules was a legendary hero known for his incredible strength and bravery. His presence within this constellation adds an air of mystique to its already awe-inspiring nature. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are reminded that our understanding of the universe has evolved over centuries but remains rooted in our fascination with these celestial wonders. This image invites us to explore beyond what is visible to our naked eye and delve into realms where science intertwines with legend. JJ Fortin's Atlas Coelestis de Flamsteed stands as a testament to humanity's enduring curiosity about the cosmos. Its delicate engravings capture not only scientific knowledge but also ignite our imagination by connecting us to ancient wisdom passed down through generations
