EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing phenomenon of a total eclipse of the sun in New Zealand, accompanied by an intricately detailed map of parts of the North and Middle Islands. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this engraving is now part of a private collection. The image transports us back to November 1885 when The Illustrated London News featured this illustration. It beautifully captures the celestial event that left spectators in awe as darkness momentarily engulfed the land. The sun's corona radiates brilliantly around the blackened disc, creating a breathtaking spectacle against the backdrop of New Zealand's stunning landscape. Accompanying this celestial marvel is a meticulously crafted map depicting sections of both North and Middle Islands. This addition provides viewers with geographical context, allowing them to appreciate how these islands were positioned during this extraordinary solar eclipse. Preserved through time, this artwork serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with cosmic events and our desire to document them for future generations. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded not only of our place within nature but also our enduring curiosity about what lies beyond our earthly realm. Bridgeman Images has brought forth yet another remarkable piece from their Fine Art Finder collection – one that invites us to contemplate both scientific wonders and artistic mastery simultaneously.
