EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing depiction of Buddhists representing the stars, sun, and moon. Taken from "The History and Doctrine of Buddhism" by Edward Upham in 1829, this color lithograph is a true gem from the 19th century. The image features an array of animals and deities symbolizing various celestial bodies. Intricately illustrated, we can spot a majestic lion embodying the power of the sun while a graceful peacock represents the moon's ethereal beauty. An elephant gracefully stands for Saturn, while a serpent embodies Mercury's mysterious energy. Notably, each deity exudes its own unique aura and symbolism. The composition also includes representations of other planets such as Jupiter with its mighty horse form and Mars personified by an awe-inspiring god-like figure. Additionally, gods like Brahaspaty, Budahu, Rawhu, Kandu, Irriu along with Keetoo - all play their part in this cosmic ensemble. This illustration serves as a visual testament to Buddhist beliefs surrounding the interconnectedness between nature and spirituality. It invites viewers to contemplate on our place within the vast universe while appreciating the diverse forms that divinity can take. Preserved in private collection as part of The Stapleton Collection since then; this remarkable artwork continues to inspire awe even after centuries have passed. Its timeless beauty reminds us of humanity's enduring fascination with both artistry and spiritual exploration
