Created in 1839 by Italian artist Sigismond Visconti and engraved by French astronomer Auguste-Henri Dufour, this stipple engraving showcases their exceptional talent and attention to detail. Measuring 51x49 cm, this artwork is part of the Tableaux du Systeme Planetaire collection, published in Paris during the same year. The image depicts an extraordinary view from the Arctic Circle towards Earth's equator, capturing both its landmasses and oceans with remarkable precision. The focal point of this piece lies in a magnificent eruption taking place near the North Pole.
