EDITORS COMMENTS
The Total Solar Eclipse of 12 December (engraving) captures a mesmerizing celestial event that occurred in the 19th century. This remarkable print, created by an English School artist, showcases the awe-inspiring moment when the moon completely obscures the sun, casting a shadow over North Australia and South of Sumatra. The engraving was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on 9 December 1871, providing readers with a glimpse into this extraordinary astronomical phenomenon. With meticulous detail and precision, the artist brings to life the dramatic scene as darkness envelops the sky during this total solar eclipse. The image beautifully depicts both the beginning and ending stages of the eclipse. Starting from Java, where sunlight still peeks through around the edges of the moon's silhouette, to its culmination in North Australia and South Sumatra where complete darkness reigns supreme. It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with astronomy and our constant pursuit of understanding these celestial wonders. This artwork not only highlights scientific curiosity but also showcases artistic talent through intricate engravings. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece today, it reminds us of our enduring quest for knowledge about our universe.
