EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the old observing-room at Greenwich in the late 17th century. The Royal Observatory, established by King Charles II in 1675, stands as a testament to Britain's rich astronomical history. Designed by the renowned architect Sir Christopher Wren, this octagonal building housed some of the greatest scientific minds of its time. In this image, we see men engrossed in their occupation as astronomers and scientists. They are surrounded by telescopes and instruments that were cutting-edge for their era. Through the window, London's skyline serves as a backdrop to their work. The observatory was not only a place of scientific discovery but also held great significance for British royalty. It served as a symbol of power and knowledge under King Charles II's reign. This illustration is taken from A Short History of the English People by John Richard Green, published in 1893. It offers us a glimpse into an era where science met artistry through detailed engravings like these. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece, let us appreciate how far humanity has come in unraveling the mysteries of our universe while paying homage to those who laid its foundations centuries ago at Greenwich Observatory.
