EDITORS COMMENTS
Our Near Neighbour, Mars (litho) captures a fascinating glimpse into the scientific curiosity and astronomical discoveries of the 19th century. This print, created by an English School artist in the late 1800s, showcases Mars as observed through a powerful telescope at an observatory. The image depicts the terminator of Mars, where sunlight transitions into darkness on the planet's surface. The intricate details recorded on August 23,1892, reveal intriguing channels and a bright projection known as Schiaparelli's markings. These findings were significant in advancing our understanding of Mars' topography and atmospheric conditions. The lithograph highlights the meticulous work conducted by astronomers during this era to unravel the mysteries of our celestial neighbor. It serves as a testament to their dedication and passion for exploring distant worlds beyond Earth. Displayed against a backdrop reminiscent of antique engravings, this print evokes nostalgia for an era when scientific illustrations played a crucial role in disseminating knowledge to wider audiences. Its inclusion in The Illustrated London News further emphasizes its significance within popular science culture at that time. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical artwork from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and scientific value today.
